intraday market %

[lindsayf]

Hi
Does NT have a way to display the intraday % changes in various market sectors/indexes? ie I trade the NQ intraday but would like to be able to see at a glance how the ES, YM and Russell are going in terms of whether they are up or down for the day and by what %..just to get an idea of whether the NQ is going with the herd or not. I would like a small table of percentages.

thanks

Hello,

I suggest using the market analyzer and using the NetChange feature within it:

Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions.

Thats great Ben thanks.
I see that I can easily add the market change info that I want..but it is not clear how I would add an indicator value....I would be interested in adding some volume criteria..for example display a green figure for volume over a certain figure in the last X minutes for a particular instrument..is that possible?

Hello lindsayf,

You can add indicators in the Market Analyzer by adding Indicator columns.

Select the indicator you like at Indicator-->Indicator.

You can add a color condition as per the Indicator column as well. More information can be found at the link below.

Unfortunately it is not supported to include a time factor (last X minutes) as per the condition.

thanks Jason
With 'netchange'..am I correct that the benchmark for this is set by lookback setting (no of bars)? What I need is for the benchmark to be yesterdays close?

NetChange displays the difference between LastPrice and LastClose, see screenshot.
