Plot a second instrument value in chart as text

[Impeesa]

I want to create an indicator that plots just the price of a second instrument in a chart. It could be as the Net Change indicator style. Any idea or example?

Thanks

Hello Impeesa,

Thanks for your post.

I'm not aware of an existing indicator that does that.

You could use the Market analyzer to display the price of any number of instruments, however, this would be a separate window.

If you would like to construct an indicator yourself, you would need to use the AddDataSeries() method for the added instrument: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...dataseries.htm

To display the text you would need to use Draw.TextFixed(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._textfixed.htm

If you would like this created for you, we can provide a link to 3rd party programmers available through the NinjaTrader Ecosystem.

Thanks, Paul

OK. I add instrument by AddDataSeries and I use Draw.TextFixed() but... where in the sintax I include last value of that instrument and how?

Hello Impeesa,

Thanks for your reply.

If you run the indicator with Calculate.OnPriceChange (or Calculate.OnEachTick) the Close[0] will be the current price of the forming bar, which is what you want.

Here is a quick example of Draw.TextFixed: Draw.TextFixed(this, "tag1", Close[0].ToString(), TextPosition.TopRight);
