Previous Bar size (Need simple indicator)

[Mich62]

You're welcome, Anna! You and anyone else, let me know if there are any issues.

Hi Matt, I installed the 'AnnaBarSize' indicator but after changing the Font Color which is blank I get an error "Could not save indicator 'AnnaBarSize'. There was an error generating the XML document." when saving my Workspace. Now I need to add the indicator again to the chart which is a kind of hassle to do every day. I get an error as I try to save a template of the indicator as well. Hope you can help. I use NT version 8.1.3.1.

Best,
Michel

Hi Mich62 and spiketrades9,

It's nearly two years since I coded that, and I've done a fair amount of NT8 programming since. So, I just did a bit of troubleshooting and made it more efficient (not that it was a performance hog). Also, I have renamed it with a prefix of company (Jett Trading) I might start that does NT8 (and TradingView?) programming. It should no longer give you any errors or cause NT to freeze/crash.

Please give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

Thanks,
Matt

Hello everyone, i downloaded the indicator and it works great!
How can i change the counter position? i'd like to see it at xxx offset from the bar (on the right).
I tried to look at the code without founding a solution.

Hi Fra12,

If you could, please provide a screenshot, marking where you want the number to be. If you want this number to be to the right of the current bar, then I'm guessing you're only showing the current bar, correct?

Kind regards,
Matt

[Fra12]

Yes, the number shows the current bar range. I0d like to see the number on the right, where i drawn a red circle. now it's just above the bar.
In the code there is offset from high of the bar but not X Offset

Hello Fra12,

Please see attached. Updated to include a horizontal offset in number of bar positions. Please give it go and let me know how it works for you.

Kind regards,
Matt

Ninjatrader didn't like Display Ticks Offset - Horizontal = 0 as default: an error message appears if i don't modify the value (see attached 1). I modified 0 with 1 in the code and now it works perfectly.
Great Job!
So this problem is solved; but if I try to use it with 2 bars the 2 values overlap (see attached 2). I already have an indicator (hidden code) that shows me previous bar range, but the problem is that i need to see the value of previous bar range + 2 ticks (and the same for the most recent bar).
For most recent bar i modified the code you just sent me : double barSize = (0.5 + High[0] - Low[0]) / ptsOrTicksDivisor;
I can't modify the hidden code of the other indicator.
So, is it possible to have different x offset for bar 1 and bar 2? Or more space between the 2 values?

Hello Fra12,

Here's the latest, with bug you mentioned fixed. If the horizontal offset is >= 1 and the Number of Bars > 1, it will now create a stacked list of bar sizes.


In this example, Number of Bars is 4 and the horizontal offset is 1 bar (in front of the current bar). The current bar ("C") is 8 ticks, while the previous bars are 19, 8, and 4 respective Bars Ago fashion.

If the horizontal offset is 0, then the indicator works as it did previously.

Hope that helps!
Matt

Hello Matt, your picture shows exactly what i'd like to have. Can't see link for download

[Fra12]

now i see it. Great job! Thank you very much!

Hi Fra12,

Excellent, good to hear that it is working for you. Oddly, I didn't see the attachment in my post from last night. I just edited it and clicked insert next to the zip file. Hopefully, it is now showing for everyone, all the time.

Cheers,
Matt

Hello StealthM93 , thank you for posting this indicator. Is there a way to make it show the values for bars already displayed on the chart? I wanted to use this for backtesting. Thank you \o

[StealthM93]

Hi Cutstocks,

Just to clarify, you want the bar range on all the bars on the chart when you first apply the indicator? And then keep them on the entire time (that is, they are not removed)?

Kind regards,
Matt
