Previous Bar size (Need simple indicator)

[StealthM93]

Hello all,

Here's the latest. With Cutstocks request, just click on the "All bars" setting. Doing so will put the bar size on every bar and keep them there. If checked, the settings "Number of Bars" and "Display Ticks Offset - Horizontal" will be ignored.

Hope that helps!

Hello all,
StealthM93 i'm using this indicator you modified and it works perfectly. One question: i'm using a 14 days SMA of range bars in a different panel.
Would be perfect if i could see in the chart (near or above range bars values of your indicator), SMA value too. At the moment i have it on Data box.
is it possible?
Thank You

Hello Fra12,

Yes, that is possible. However, in my opinion, that is beyond the scope of the purpose of this indicator. Also, that would require a bit of extra programming that's outside of a free indicator here in the forums.

Kind regards,
Matt

Hello Fra12, just letting you know that I replied to your DM. I don't believe I got an email notification of your DM to me, so I'm @'ing you here.

Hey StealthM93, Is there any way to get this to work with daily bars (1440min)? The higher bar time you select, the fewer bars it displays. For example, right now if I select 120min, it shows 10 or so. Anything higher than that and it goes to none. 240min doesn't display on any bars. Thanks

Hello Touch-Ups,

I just tested the situations you mentioned, and the indicator is working well. Be sure you have the latest version which is attached to post #31 above (October 5, 2024, 12:40 AM - Eastern US) or here:

Please help me with an indicator that paints blue when the candle is positive an the body over 50 ticks. And yellow when the candle is negative and body over 50 ticks. Thanks, Lucia

LuciaMM,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Below is a link to a support article on getting started with C# and NinjaScript.

https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/Developer-Guide-Getting-Started-with-NinjaScript

Starting with the indicator provided by in post # 25

Add below line 70 where the barSize is calculated:

if (Close[0] > Open[0] && barSize > 50)
BarBrush = Brushes.Blue;
else if (Close[0] < Open[0] && barSize > 50)
BarBrush = Brushes.Yellow;

[StealthM93]

Thank you, NinjaTrader_ChelseaB!

Since the additional code was minor, I added this feature to the indicator. Please see the latest attached to this post. FYI, LuciaMM

There are three new settings:

1. Large Candle (Ticks): How many ticks determines a large candle for color change. Use 0 to ignore this new feature.
2. Large Up Candle Color
3. Large Down Candle Color

For any users, please provide feedback or of any issues. If you deem appropriate, a Like on this post would appreciated.

Kind regards,
Matt
