Looking for inside bar indicator

[JAtrades]

No worries-just an fyi. As mentioned - I took the code from above and added edits as per your video advise (1. //add a plot, 2. //add a variable (Ibf) with state signal, 3. //this gets the variable) ...I believe the code attached is the correct code. I don't rec loading it as you would have to do a workspace recovery after. I may have achieved the results I am looking for via another method, so I'm not actively trying to get this working now-only curious for learning purposes.

Hello JAtrades,

Thanks for your reply.

The script you provided is a market analyzer column and this is not what was provided by AlanP which was an indicator. The directions I provided was based on modifying an indicator that could be run in the market analyzer. FYI - The market analyzer has a column called indicator that would be used for any indicator that provides a signal.

If you would take the indicator Alan posted in #5 and make the modifications I pointed you to and follow the video directions you should be good to go.

Ah, yes... sorry to add confusion. I grabbed that code quickly when you asked-originally I did this as a column and today I realized that error...So I re-created the same thing as an indicator following the steps I've shared with you. I took Alan's indicator above (it's in my indicators - thanks Alan!), made the edits to the indicator I've described (which I learned from your video-thanks). I then added a new Market analyzer column, accessing the indicator from there and was met with the same results - broken marketanalyzer. Did you try this and confirm it works for you? I may try again for fun later-I'll let you know.

Hello JAtrades,

Thanks for your reply.

If you can post your indicator modified script we can help you get sorted at your convenience.

Now that I'm going through the steps again from scratch - I'm curious what led you to say "The script you provided is a market analyzer column and this is not what was provided by AlanP which was an indicator".

Hello JATrades,

Thanks for your reply.

In post #16, the code insidebar.cs shows:

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.MarketAnalyzerColumns
{
public class InsideBar : MarketAnalyzerColumn
{

[JAtrades]

oh boy- ok...I think I can see how things got broken. Sorry to make this more confusing than it needed to be.
I am trying again from scratch - re-downloading Alan's indicator and applying the edits you suggest. I'll assume it will work.

[JAtrades]

Well hmmmm...after all of that, I've restarted and my marketanalyzer broke again! lol

[JAtrades]

Attached code which is imported indicator from above, edited with the same edits as described here previously (edited areas are annotated). Add a column to market analyzer and select this indicator. Enjoy - looks like a working! Now shut down and restart and see what market analyzer looks like. Mine is:

For some more fun - try a work around by saving all your favorite columns, including the insidebar indicator column, in a template so you can get it back.

Hello JAtrades,

Thanks for your post and posting the code.

In looking through the code I see part of the issue you were having which is caused by the way the original script was created in that Alan created his own namespace for the indicators he created. This caused issue for the Market analyzer. There are also a couple of other corrections to be made. I've recreated the indicator and renamed it for you. You should be able to download and import directly and apply to a chart and/or apply to the market analyzer. I would suggest deleting your other indicator entirely.

I've attached an example of what it can look like in the market analyzer where the cell condition is if the plot = 0 to show No and if plot =1 to show yes.

Hello, do you know if there is the most updated version of this bar for ninjatrader 7? Thank you

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello punkiy2111,

Thanks for your post.

As far as I know, my reply in post 26 contains what would be the latest version.

Hello jasonw,

I added the feature which now allows the user to select the color the inside bars would be painted, see attached.

Regarding a indicator which colors the chart background depending on sessions, my colleague Paul was kind enough to point me to an existing indicator on the forum. You would have to manually define the times you’d like to shade as the indicator doesn’t use sessions, but it’ll do what you’d like.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
