Hello,

I'm trying to see if their is an indicator that exists that will count the number of bars on my chart as I grow and shrink the screen.

Hello tom_the_trader,

Thanks for your question.

I am not aware of one on the User App Share and I did not see one when I checked, but you are welcome to have a look for yourself.

This forum is dedicated for developing NinjaScript indicator as opposed to our NinjaScript File Sharing Discussion forum which is dedicated to discussing scripts that are already built.

If you want to build an indicator that does this, you can use SharpDX with custom rendering. You can see our SampleCustomRender example for an example on using SharpDX. Please also be sure to reference the documentation below.

Using SharpDX for custom rendering - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._rendering.htm

To get the number of bars visible, you can subtract ChartBars.FromIndex from ChartBars.ToIndex in OnRender.

My colleague Chelsea also has an indicator that draws the symbol name on a chart using SharpDX and that can be referenced as a more simplified text drawing example.
