ChartScale (YAxis) price values

[newbe17]

Is it possible to programmatically get the price values on the price scale?

Hi newbe17, thanks for posting.

The ChartScale object contains data for the charts price scale:

Yes, but ChartScale does not contain an array of prices displayed on this scale

Hi newbe17, thanks for your reply.

It contains the min and max value of the scale, so you can iterate from min to max, increasing the price by TickSize to get every tick in between the chart scale.

No. That's not what I meant. I need to get prices that are drawn on the scale itself (and that change when zooming)

Hi newbe17, thanks for your reply.

NinjaScript does not have a method that would provide the visual ticks that are on the chart, that would need to be calculated manually to mimic what the ChartScale>Properties are doing with the linear margin calculation.

How do I do this manually?

Hi newbe17, thanks for your reply.

NinjaTrader uses code that is not exposed to us to calculate the scale of the chart, I, unfortunately, do not have an exact solution for how to do this.
