Hello jwalkera87,

Thanks for your post.

The bottom table that is added with Volumetric Bars is drawn with custom rendering from the internal Volumetric ChartStyle.

Drawing your own table is possible, but I may suggest to start simple and use Draw.TextFixed to draw your speed of tape on the chart.

Draw.TextFixed - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._textfixed.htm

To measure speed of tape, you could use OnMarketData, and you can increment class level variables each time you see a MarketDataType.Bid, MarketDataType.Ask, MarketDataType.Last tick. (You could also track the volume as well.)

You can then use a timer to reset your variables every second.

We look forward to assisting.
