Show Bid/Ask Indicator

[rtj4201]

I loaded this indicator. It works. The bid/ask lines are so faint on the chart you cannot see them. When I select the line on the chart and make the color darker, it works, until the chart updates and it goes back to the faint color you cannot see.

Any way to change the color on the lines?

Hi rtj4201, for this you would need to change the assigned color in the code directly - you want to modify those two colors :

I changed it to red and blue, but it could still be darker. How do I adjust teh size of the line?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Try changing the DashStyle.Dash to DashStyle.Solid and also use a higher width setting of for example 3 -

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2](displayAskLine) DrawRay([/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]"AL"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2], [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]1[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2], a, [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2], a, Color.Blue, DashStyle.Solid, 3[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]);

I went to tools, edit ninjascript and changed the indicator, but it does not appear to be changing.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Please hit F5 on your chart to reload the NinjaScript indicator. Then it should be refreshed.

[rtj4201]

Did not change it when i hit F5.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Please try to remove and reload the indicator then.

[rtj4201]

Remove it from the chart or the indicator base.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Remove it completey from the chart and then reload it fresh.

[rtj4201]

Tried it and it did not work.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Did you compile your changed indicator by pressing F5 in the editor after you did your code changes?

[rtj4201]

Tried to post compilation errors but could not find a way to paste it.

Basically, it says red, blue and solid are not allowable.

[rtj4201]

Ok, i am new to programming.

red has to be Red
blue has to be Blue
dash has to be Dash

It compiled and now works

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Please import the attached file and overwrite when it asks...this one works for me.
