Copy & Mod for Instrument.cs

[stockgoblin]

Hi,

I'd like a column on the market analyzer where I can enter the price I'm interested in buying the stock at. I see the Instrument column is the only one that takes Input. Can I copy and then mod it to allow me to type in a price?

it looks simple:

using NinjaTrader.MarketAnalyzer;

// This namespace holds all market analyzer column definitions and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.MarketAnalyzer
{
/// <summary>
/// </summary>
public class Notes : NinjaTrader.MarketAnalyzer.ColumnBase
{
/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the market analyzer column and is called once before any event mathod is called.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarCloseConfigurable = false;
DataType = typeof(string);
RelativeColumnWidth = 5;
RequiresBars = false;
Text = Instrument.Fullname;
}

/// <summary>
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public override string ToString()
{
return "Instrument";
}
}
}


Would I just change the return "Instrument"; to blank? or can I change the Text = Instrument.Fullname; to Text = string or something?

stockgoblin,

Unfortunately there is no supported method of using the market analyzer this way. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yea, so I can't just type something in a market analyzer column and have it sit there? Even with a modded indicator?

stockgoblin,

It might be possible, but unfortunately the market analyzer was not designed with this in mind. I can make a suggestion to our development team to allow this, however I wouldn't be able to provide any code samples for doing this.
