Net Change based off a price of choice

[Lukebaires]

Hello,

Basically, as the tittle suggest, I want to modify the net change indicator so it displays, in ticks, the net change or delta between a selected price and the current price.

The way I want this to work is so every time I press a hot key, the price reference taken for the net change is the current market price.

I.E. in ES: market trading at 3750, I press a hot key and this price is now the reference point from which the net change will count, so if it now trades 3752 then net change shows +8 ticks.



The complicated part would be to "reset" the net change reference point each time I press a hot key I guess. This also needs to happen on all the instruments inclulded within market analyzer.

Can you guys instruct me on how I can modify the indicator to accomplish this?

Hello Lukebaires,

Capturing keypresses would start to fall outside of what is supported by NinjaTrader support, but there is an example of this I can link in an indicator.

I would see an issue with this in the MarketAnalyzer but I would not have any further suggestions. I'm not certain about capturing keypresses in the market analyzer.

The NetChangeDisplay indicator included with NinjaTrader can provide some example logic. You can save a price to a class level double variable.
