PIP and Tick Measuring tool

[Gold82]

Dear Ninja Trader Staff and Traders:
Can we make a Pip/Tick Measuring tool on NT? A tool that will measure the amount of pips/ ticks in a movement and with a keyboard shortcut to it.

It would be great if we can hit the keyboard shortcut and then get an "indicator" that where we click and drag it it will measure the amount of pips of ticks in between those 2 points and the amount of candles that way you also know how much time it took to complete that move. It really skims down analysis time and lets you focus purely on your trading.

I know NT7 is coming out with one but I wanted to know if anyone had one right now even if it was a very simple one.

I remember seeing a platform whose pip/tick measuring tool would even give you the dollars that move was worth for one contract or however many you wanted. Which was very cool..

So do we have one or even a basic one..

How can I make one like for example using the line drawing tool maybe and then have the computer do the math from the two ends of the line.

Thats all.

Is that possible?

Thank you!

Hello Gold82,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately this option is not available at this time within NinjaTrader 6.5 however this will be implemented in NinjaTrader 7.

New Ruler Drawing Tool

Thanks Christopher.

And when is NT7 scheduled to come out approximately?

Also do we have to pay extra if we have 6.5 to get the new Version?

Thank you.

Unfortunately we do not have a date at this time of when NinjaTrader 7 will be released to the general public. No, there will not be a fee to upgrade from NinjaTrader 6.5 to 7 when it is available.

The link that provided in the previous post has additional release information and the status of NinjaTrader 7.

Hello NinjaCustomer,

Thanks for your post.

Under the Drawing Tools you can find this and it is called the Ruler.
You can access the Drawing Tools on your chart with the pencil icon on the Chart Toolbar
