Indicator Comparing the price of different series

[GiovanniTunk]

Hello, I am not very familiar with NinjaScript. I'm looking for an indicator that draws out an alert when "data 1" and "data2" have moved in a direction more strongly than "data 3" over a set number of bars. Does such a thing exist or will I need to develop my own?

Hello GiovanniTunk,

Thank you for your post.

I am not aware of an indicator that displays an alert when "data 1" and "data 2" moved in a direction more than "data 3" over a set number of bars. You would need to develop a custom NinjaScript indicator to accomplish this. NinjaScript indicators could be programmed in a NinjaScript Editor window (New > NinjaScript Editor) by right-clicking on the Indicators folder and choosing New Indicator.

I've included some educational resources on C# and creating indicators from the NinjaTrader 7 help guide. NinjaScripts are different between NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8, but the concepts are still relevant.

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide in NinjaTrader 8 to help you get started with NinjaScript: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._resources.htm

And the MSDN (Microsft Developers Network) C# Language Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...erence_wip.htm

We also have a webinar on using the NinjaScript Editor.

Additionally, I would suggest taking a look at the Code Breaking Changes documentation in the NinjaTrader 8 help guide. It provides a high-level overview of the NinjaScript changes you can expect between NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8.

The Strategy Builder could also be used to create conditions and draw objects on a chart instead of place executions. Please see these help guide links for more information about Strategy Builder conditions.
