Size of bars in histogram

[Stanfillirenfro]

Hello!
Let's have a look on the histogram of MACD for example plotted on the chart. When we look at the right side of the histogram, we see some numbers representing I think the scale. So with the cursor on a bar it is possible to have its size. These numbers could not be representing the prices since we have currently for ES 500 for example 4272 and 1.9 for the Diff of MACD on histogram.

Is there a way to have this numbers of the scale of histogram in the script? Or is there a way to transform the prices to the numbers on the histogram?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Stanfillirenfro,

Thank you for your post.

If I'm understanding correctly, you're wanting to use the plot values of the MACD in a NinjaScript indicator or strategy, is that correct?

If so, the answer is yes, those are all exposed as plots and may be used in conditions within a script.

Please see our help guide here:

For example:

// Prints the current MACD value
double value = MACD(12, 26, 9)[0];
Print("The current MACD value is " + value.ToString());

// Prints the current MACD average value
double value = MACD(12, 26, 9).Avg[0];
Print("The current MACD average value is " + value.ToString());

// Prints the current MACD difference value
double value = MACD(12, 26, 9).Diff[0];
Print("The current MACD difference value is " + value.ToString());

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
