number every 3rd range candles

[JamesBond]

Hello,

I use a 20 tick range candle for intraday trading. Is there an indicator that counts and places a number above or below every 3rd candle from the market open until close? I am blind when it comes to programming so your guidance will be very appreciated. Thx.

Hi James, are you German ? I cannot help you with your question, but maybe you can give me an advice: I do have a number of Individual ndicators for NT7. I am looking for help to get them migrated to Nt8... Do you know somebody who can help me ?
Thanks
Alexander

i think you are looking for this : https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...unter-colored/

It does not place the number below the 'third' candle, but you can choose it to place the number below all or alternate candles.

Alexander,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

JamesBond,

To find every 3rd bar, use remainder operator (modulus).

if (CurrentBar % 3 == 0)

Chelsea,

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I am blind when it comes to programming. Am I supposed to insert that line somewhere in the indicator using the Ninjascript Editor?

Hello JamesBond,

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with C# and NinjaScript.

This is a condition that will be true on every 3rd bar. This would go wherever you are trying to trigger an action on every 3rd bar.

For example:
if (CurrentBar % 3 == 0)
{
Print(Time[0]);
}

This would print the time of every 3rd bar.

Thanks for the extra explanation, Chelsea. I got it to work just the way I wanted it. Thank you, everyone!
