Getting $TICK and $ADD charts

[MakesTrades23]

I am used to trading with Think or Swim and used to have the $TICK and $ADD charts up for reference. I know how to get them on Think or Swim but am having a difficult time with Ninja7.

I've attached a screen of exactly what I'm trying to replicate on Ninja, could I get some direction on how to do that please?



Thanks,


Ryan

Hello,

Thanks for your note.

It looks like these are two charts arranged above one another, with separate scaling. What happens when you attempt to chart these instruments in NinjaTrader?

$TICK isn't available in NT7, it stopped working 2/21/2013 by my estimates.

Here's a full thread on it:

*$TICK does work in NT8 though.

For $ADD, you'll need to use $ISSU as your symbol, and write an indicator to subtract the dailyhigh and dailylow.

There might be a symbol that does it though. I never bothered to try to find it.

But just remember, the symbols in TOS aren't exactly in TDA/NT. TDA bought TOS and integrated it in, while leaving the TDA branch separate for the most part.

*$ISSU is available in both NT7 and NT8.

And both of these TDA indicators never match TOS. They are skewed slightly.
