Indicator openprice - currentprice = xPrice

[freelancerbob]

Hi,
Need help with programming indicator in Market Analyzer. I want to have xPrice values in column:

OPEN_PRICE - CURRENT_PRICE = xPrice

I do not know how to make it in Market Analyzer. I have checked many indicators source codes. I am programming many years. Please let me know.

Hello Freelancerbob,

Thank you for your note.

To make values calculated in your indicator available for display in the market analyzer column, you should reference the SMA indicator preloaded on NinjaTrader. This demonstrates setting a calculated value to a plot, which the MA can reference.

To add a column to market analyzer which will display this value, right click on the market analyzer window>columns>then click Add and select your indicator.

See our Helpguide on How to Add columns:

NT8: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...th_columns.htm

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks, but i know how to add column with my indicator into market analyzer. I do not know how to create it, i need to understand structure of code. SMA is not what i need but maybe i can start there by reading source code.

Hello Freelancerbob,

You'll see in the SMA indicator, a plot is created and the value of the plot is set. This plot value is what the market analyzer can display.

I've highlighted the important pieces in NT7 and NT8.

NT7:

Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "SMA"));

Value.Set((last + Input[0]) / (Math.Min(CurrentBar, Period) + 1));

NT8:

AddPlot(Brushes.Goldenrod, NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorNa meSMA);

Value[0] = (last + Input[0] - Input[Period]) / Math.Min(CurrentBar, Period);

Please see Plots section of our Helpguide;

NT7 http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nt7/?plots.htm
NT8 https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...-us/?plots.htm

Value Section of our helpguide;

NT8 https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...-us/?value.htm

With the Strategy Wizard you can setup conditions and variables and then see the generated code in the NinjaScript Editor by clicking the View Code button. Setting the value of a plot within the builder, then viewing code would allow you to see how the plot is set and what you'd need to do to make a value available in the market analyzer.
