custom market analyzer column for tick value

[trader3000a]

Hi,
Has this already been written somewhere? How would I write (point value * tick value) into an indicator?
thanks,
David

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your post.

Are you looking for an indicator or a market analyzer column or an indicator to use in the market analyzer's indicator column?

On "How would I write (point value * tick value) into an indicator?" can you clarify what you are looking for as it is a bit confusing.

Are you looking for the ticks per point of the instrument?

Are you looking for the point value of a tick for the instrument?

Are you looking to show some indicator value in ticks?

Hi Paul, I simply want the $ value of a tick of movement per instrument. Point value is how much a dollar of movement is worth (ES is $50, for example). Tickvalue is the tick increment in currency (ES is $ 0.25, for example). By multiplying the point value by the tick increment, we get the $ value of 1 tick of movement in the symbol (ES is $12.50, for example (50 * .25)). I want to see this value in my Market analyzer row for each symbol, so I believe it has to be created using an indicator.

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your reply and clarification.

As a learning experience, I created a market analyzer column that will provide the Dollars per tick based on:

It can be added to your market analyzer by adding the column "DollarsPerTick"

DollarsPerTick.zip

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

nice, thanks Paul. Is there a way to make the column sortable? highest to lowest sortable? i notice on my side that it doesn't have this ability like the other columns

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your reply.

The output is text so that is probably why it can not be sorted.
