Converting NT7 indicator to NT8

[asmmbillah]

Hi Everyone, I found the attached indicator in NT support forum which was coded for NT7. But it was never converted to NT8. I don't know if NT team interested to convert this for NT8 or not. Anyone interested to convert, please do it. It will help everyone using NT8.

Hello asmmbillah,

Thank you for your post.

Did you download the VPA from the NinjaTrader Support Forum? Can you provide a link to where you found this indicator?

I look forward to your response.

Jim,
In the code, how would I go about providing separation between the candlestick and the symbols used in the code? This would be helpful in analyzing the candlestick with the wick.

Welcome to the forums dawoz!

Drawing objects are drawn at a specific price level. To increase their distance from the candlesticks, you can change the price in which they are drawn.

For example:

Draw.Square(this, "MySquare" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - 2 * TickSize, Brushes.Lime);

Draw.Square(this, "MySquare" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - 10 * TickSize, Brushes.Lime);

Please see documentation on Draw methods for explanation on additional parameters.

We look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello, @NinjaTrader_Jim regarding the VPA for NT8...is there a way in the "properties" section to hide all of the alerts showing on the main panel/chart? We just want to see the VPA on the lower panel.

Hello lbadisa1,

This indicator does not have properties to control all of the drawing objects made in the price panel. "Banners" would allow disabling the TextFixed messages, however.
