Superdom background shading?

[torch2k]

Hi, I'd like to program an indicator that would do one of the following two things:

- color the background of either the buy or sell columns at any given time (ie. per tick)
- add a new column that would also have background shading, if the first option is not possible

Can you direct me to the ninjascript documentation on coloring the buy/sell columns?

Hello torch2k,

Thanks for the post.

Coloring the background of the existing columns would not be possible but you could do that in a custom column. I would suggest looking in the NinjaScript editor at the existing market analyzer volume column. That shows how to render the rectangles which show the volume visually, a similar task could be used for making colored rectangles.

There is not much documentation on the column type besides the supported properties but you can review the existing columns code for working examples. You could also duplicate the volume column and then just edit that as well.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Ok. Is there a way for me to access the 10 levels of market depth to make decisions based on that data?

Hello torch2k,

Yes you can use the OnMarketDepth in the superdom column, I would suggest looking at the APQ column and how it uses the OnMarketDepthUpdate event.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
