Hello everyone,
Please can somebody help me create an indicator that shows an arrow or diamond or triangle on the FIRST tick of the next opening bar? Green for up and red for down.

Thank you so much.

Hello odmassion,

In the scripts Initialize() set CalculateOnBarClose to false so that OnBarUpdate will trigger for every tick in real-time.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/calculateonbarclose.htm

In OnBarUpdate add a condition to draw a diamond when FirstTickOfBar is true.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/firsttickofbar.htm

if (FirstTickOfBar)
{
DrawDiamond("diamond", true, 0, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, Color.Green)
}

DrawDiamond() - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rawdiamond.htm

You can detect a green bar if the Close is greater than the Open
if (Close[0] > Open[0])
{
// execute code for green bar
}
else if (Close[0] < Open[0])
{
// execute code for red bar
}
else
{
// execute code for doji
}

Close - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/close.htm
Open - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/open.htm

Hello odmassion,

These are concepts and examples that you can use when creating your script.

In the support department at NinjaTrader we do not create, debug, or modify code for our clients. This is so that we can maintain a high level of service for all of our clients as well as our partners.

This thread will remain open for any community members that would like to create your script as a convenience to you.

If you would like to take on learning NinjaScript, we have a fully documented help guide which will help you get started with Ninja Script. You will find language references to all of the methods and functions you will be using. You will also see a tutorial section which will help you create your first indicator and get you started with some of these concepts.

All links below are publicly available.

A link to our Help Guide with tutorials can be found below:

The entire Alphabetical Reference can be found with the following link:

Also take a look at the The Strategy Development Process page in the help guide.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/the_strategy_development_process.htm

The best way to begin learning NinjaScript is to use the Strategy Wizard. 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.

I'm also proving a link to a pre-recorded set of videos 'Strategy Wizard 301' and 'NinjaScript Editor 401' for you to view at your own convenience.

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our help guide first:

I have personally found DotNetPerls to be a very helpful resource with simple, direct, and easy to follow examples.

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._resources.htm

You will find Reference Samples online as well as some Tips and Tricks for both indicators and strategies:

Click here to see our NinjaScript Tips: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3229

These samples can be downloaded, installed and modified from NinjaTrader and hopefully serve as a good base for your custom works.

There is a also a growing library of user submitted custom indicators (100+) that can be downloaded from our support form. Please look in the NinjaScript File Sharing section of our support forum as you may find what you are looking for there: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...splay.php?f=37
