Range Indicator - Display Ticks instead of price

[horacioofman]

Hi,
I am using the Range Indicator provided with NT8 on a column with the Market analyzer.
The problem I have is that the indicator is expressing the "price" range, what I am really interested to see is the range expressed in ticks.

Example:
Price High / Price Low on ES: 3951.75 / 3950.00
Range Indicator: 0.75
I want to see it as 3 ticks

Price High / Price Low on GC: 1845.5 / 1845.0
Range Indicator: 0.5
I want to see it as 5 ticks

Thanks

Hello horacioofman,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider creating a copy of the Range indicator script and modifying the script so that it calculates the (High[0] - Low[0]) / TickSize) instead of High[0] - Low[0] to have the indicator return the difference in ticks.

To create a copy of the Range indicator, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Indicators folder, double-click the Range file, right-click in the code and select 'Save as', name the copy, and click OK. Once a copy is made, you could modify the copy.

For example, the code may look something like this.

Value[0] = (High[0] - Low[0]) / TickSize;

This modified version could then be used in the Market Analyzer window to display the High[0] - Low[0] in ticks.

See this help guide page for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_ticksize.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.
