Custom indicator

[mballagan]

I would like to setup market analyzer to scan a basket of currencies and alert based on a custom condition. If I create a custom indicator is it possible to do this?

Hi mballagan,

Thank you for your post.

If you create the custom indicator and it is available within NinjaTrader then you can add that indicator in the Indicator column of Market Analyzer.

Then once added to the Market Analyzer you can create alert conditions based on that indicator.

I have created a custom indicator that checks for two conditions the logic for condition 1 is as follows:

if(ReverseCandleLong())
{
Plot1.Set(1);
counter++;
string tag = "RCLE" + counter.ToString();
Print("Reverse Candle LE: date = " + Time[0].Date.ToString() + " time = " + Time[0].ToShortTimeString());
DrawText(tag,"RCLE ",0,Open[0],Color.Blue);
Print("Current time = " + Time[0].ToString() + " pivotlevels[0] = " + pivotlevels[0].ToString());
}
else
{
Plot1.Set(0);

}

where ReverseCandleLong() checks for a particular bar formation.

When I try and add this indicator to market analyzer I get an error message saying that NinjaTrader has encountered an error and needs to close. The indicator compiles fine, what I am trying to do is set up an alert so that a cell in market analyzer changes color when a condition is true.
