Indicator to access volumetric bar data

[terminatorT1000]

I am using the strategy builder and was able to use the color the plot indicator to access Order Flow Cumulative Delta in the calculations for my strategy, but there is no way to access the other volumetric bar data such as buys, sells, delta percentage and other things. I see some code here that is used to call up the volumetric bars as a bar type, and an indicator could probably be made that just either prints out the values or makes an EMA of them for use in strategies. https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?order_flow_volumetri c_bars2.htmI


I don't see a user app share indicator of this type, but wondering if anyone has already built something like this.

Hello terminatorT1000,

Thank you for your note.

While it would be possible to create an indicator that accesses volumetric bar data, you wouldn't be able to use this with a Strategy Builder strategy. You'd have to add a volumetric series in the indicator to access those volumetric values, and then you'd also have to be able to add a volumetric series in the hosting strategy, and you cannot add an additional Volumetric series with the Strategy Builder.

If you unlock the strategy you could manually add a volumetric series using AddVolumetric() and then you could utilize the approach shown on the help guide page you linked to access those values within the strategy. It would simply not be possible to use it in a Strategy Builder strategy.
