work with bid and ask quantity

[tonynt]

Hello,

I know how to work in my script-strategies with close, open, high, low in primary dataseries and added dataseries and also to use them in indicators.

Thanks to this great forum and the great support.

But I couldn´t find somewhere how I can "grab" the ask-quantity and bid-quantity eg

if (ask-quantity at close of bar < 10)
{then do}

Thank you for any hint!

Best regards
Tony

If I understand the question correctly this should do the trick. Take a look at the example here for getting the ask volume

Let me know if I can further assist.

Hi Lance,

thank you for your response.

This seems to be but I do not understand how to do from this simply

if("ask at high of bar" == valuex)
{.....}

Isn´t there another example more or can you give me an example - should only be one line. Once I understood the syntax I can work with this as I also.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards
Tony

If you need to do it in OnBarUpdate() you could use: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...taskvolume.htm

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Lance,

thank you, this is a help.

But how can I get the askvolume at the low of an upbar (RangeBar with close[0]>low[0])?
How can I join the getcurrentaskvolume and the low of the bar?

I also found in the meantime the link in the forum
http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3478
in another thread but the link doesn´t work - I find a strange landing-page. Did one remove the sample?

Thank you for your support.

I'm not sure where that link would have gone or if it's maybe from 6.5.

Perhaps I don't understand your question. What do you mean by join the ask volume and low of the bar? You could make an array of 2 double values. Store the volume in slot 0 and low price in slot 1.

Hello Lance,

thank you for your response.

With join I mean to get the ask volume at the low of the bar.

// of course this here is wrong but maybe I can explain this way
if (GetCurrentAskVolume(Low[0]) == certainvalue) then do...

I tried with doubles but how can I tell NT that I want the AskVolume at the Low[0]?

Thank you.

There won't be a straightforward way to do this.

You would have to manually store this value as it happened and then reference it later.

First thing that comes to mind would be storing the ask volume each tick that was the low of a bar, Overriding previous values if that low is lower than the previous.

Ask volume is not tied to a price point but a place in time. So you would need to get the time the low happened and store the ask at that point.

This is exactly what I mean. But how can I store ask volume each tick that was the low of a bar.

Unfortunately I won't be able to provide you with a robust solution free of charge.

The general concept would be to store historical values in a storage container and reference them as needed. You would also need to have a way to override previous values that were no longer at the price point.

Consider taking a look at tools like the GOMI package as they deal a lot with this type of data: https://www.bigmiketrading.com/wiki/trading-wiki/Gomi

Thank you.

Hello,

In the helpguide there is onyl the syntax shortly but no explanation. Question please: getcurrentaskvolume shows the trades ocurring at the ask or this is the orderbook?

As we have "FirstTickOfBar" I want to ask if there is also possible somehow "LastTickOfBar" (to do with rangebars).

If this is not possible I want to ask if I can have in the script

if(FirstTickofBar
&& (Last) GetCurrentAskVolume the bar before.....}


Thanks
Tony

"GetCurrentAskVolume" returns the level I Ask data that is currently being reported by the broker

There is no "LastTickOfBar" because there is no way of knowing when the last tick of bar happens with range bars until the first tick of the next bar comes through.

Your condition is possible but you would need to store and track the ask volume in your own variable.
