print to market analyzer column

[trader3000a]

Hi,
I'd like to get this indicator to show the same Print () text in a market analyzer column. Or even show a 1 or a zero, maybe with a change in background color. How might I modify it? Is there a sample somewhere?

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (Range()[0] > ATR(14)[0] * 2)
{
Print("1 ATR is exceeded");
}
}

thanks,
David

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your post.

You can add a transparent plot to your indicator (transparent so it does not change your display) and you can set the plot to some known value when the condition occurs, such as 1 when true or zero when false.

In the market Analyzer, you would add the indicator through the indicator column. You can then use the 1 or 0 values to set up the cell conditions to display text and colors as you wish.

For an example of a transparent plot, you can check out the indicator CandleStickPattern which has a plot identified as "PatternFound" which will be 1 when the selected pattern has been found or it will be a zero meaning the pattern has not been found.

Here is a link to the market analyzer cell conditions: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lter_condi.htm
