Indicator That Changes Bar Color Based On ATR

[jpmcginley1968]

Is anyone aware of an indicator that will change bar color when the range of a bar is greater than a user defined ATR? I created the indicator for myself in Pine Script but have no idea how to recreate to use in Ninja Trader 8. Thanks...

Hello jpmcginley1968,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

This thread will remain open for any community members that may know of an existing indicator that has this functionality.

While I am not aware of this specific indicator, one could be created.

Below I am providing a link to helpful resources on getting started with NinjaScript and C#.

The range of the bar is the High[0] - Low[0].

Which can be compared to the ATR().

To change the bar color set the BarBrush.

Hey Chelsea,
Thanks for the information above. It's a start for sure. Maybe it would be good to have the NinjaTrader Ecosystem Team follow up with the list of affiliate consultants in case I can not get this done myself.
