Fibonnaci Time Extension Modification/ New indicator idea

[pthomas]

Hi,

Curious to know how complicated it would be to modify the Fibonacci Time Extension tool. What I would like to do is remove the anchor, change the values of precentages to time and add a calendar so I could move the indicator by date.

Hello pthomas,

Thanks for opening the thread.

The Fibonacci Drawing Tools are open source and documentation for Drawing Tools also exists in our help guide.

From the sound of it, you want to make an indicator based on this drawing tool and make it work with a user defined date. The major task would be implementing the OnRender() code from the DrawingTool to the indicator.

Once the code is re-implemented, it can be modified to use the a user defined Date as input. You can also use a DateTimeConverter to make a more intuitive input.

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Gui.PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.DateTimeConverter")]
[Display(Name="Start Date", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]
public DateTime StartDate
{ get; set; }

The code for displaying the price level values as percents is in GetPriceString() at line 113 in the FibonacciTools Drawing Tool source code.

I'll include links from our publicly available documentation on Drawing Tools and custom rendering for further direction.
