Net Change

[Segwin]

Found this Net Change Indicator for NT7. Hoping someone can convert it to NT8.

Thanks in advance.

Muchas Gracias Chris.

I will look over the rest of the information in your post as well. Now that Oanda supports NT I can reinvest the time.

Hello Segwin,

Thanks for your patience.

It turns out NetChange is already a default indicator in NinjaTrader 8.

It is under the name "NetChangeDisplay", the source code can also be viewed from the NinjaScript editor via New>NinjaScript editor.

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

Hi ChrisL,

There is no default NetChangeDisplay indicator for NT8, unless we can't find it. However, it is one of the parameters in Market Analyzer.

Meanwhile, I have converted the above custom NT7 version to NT8 (simple straightforward), attached.

Cheers!

Hello aligator,

Thanks for posting that.

I am running an internal build of NinjaTrader 8 on my machine. This indicator must be new, and may be added in a near future update.

Apologies for the confusion.

Hi ChrisL,

Perhaps a future indicator for percent change would be more useful for intraday as a plot starting at zero (no comparison to previous day close) on the first tick of the session and plotting the percent change during the session instead of (or in addition to) a display box.

This way, one can compare performance of several instruments during the session, more like a radar screen to identify leaders and lagers.

Thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thanks for the reply.

I will submit a feature request for this indicator you describe. In the meantime, take a look in the Market Analyzer column folder, there is a net change indicator in there.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

yunakhan1,

Here is my straightforward NetChangeDisplay NT8 conversion. I do not use this indicator, but it was a simple conversion.

Cheers!

This is amazing - especially because this indi provides the possibility of choosing the relative event from which the net change is calculated. If I would have discovered this earlier...

THANX

Thanks Leafcutter,

Perhaps you could elaborate on this "possibility" of relating an event to price change following the event (i.e. weekly oil inventory report and its impact on percent change in oil prices?).

It may be possible to create a dynamic indicator including the calendar of economic events, or even earning report, to determine the effect on price performance. That information can be of value for trading.

Cheers!

Hi Aligator, thanks again for providing this indicator. Maybe I expressed myself a bit misleadingly. By "relative event" I meant that this indicator does not just calculate the net change based on the close of the last day, but that you can choose whether you want it to calculate from close of the last day or preferably the opening of the current day etc.
BUT the idea you came up with to base the calculation of the indicator on other events sounds pretty interesting. Although I frankly have doubts that the percentage fluctuation in the price based on news events has any fundamental significance. It seems to me that the severity and direction of the swing is completely random and I suspect that this is pure algo driven market manipulation - just my humble opinion and maybe I'm totally wrong and there's a pattern

I wish you a nice weekend and I'm actually always very happy when I discover a new indicator from you. It's great that people like you share your skills!

Leafcutter, Thank you.

Agree, not all economics news have fundamental effect on prices, and if any, the algos will take care of that in the first 10 minutes in day trading.

However, for swing trading and investment some reports such as CPI, Interest rates, bond prices, unemployment, and geopolitical events, usually have some impact on the market. Although with the AI taking over these days, things do not behave as they did before.

Cheers!
