Tick volume and number of trades indicators

[GeeWee]

Hi all.

I have some questions about ninjatrader 8. There are 5 indicators in sierra charts that I can't find in ninjatrader 8, perhaps you guys can help me.

Those 5 indicators are:

1. Number of trades.
2. Ask volume
3. Bid volume
4. Uptick volume
5. Downtick volume

I've taken a snapshot of my sierra chart example. Are there such indicators for ninjatrader 8?

Thanks.

Hello GeeWee,

Thank you for your post.

A list of indicators that come with NinjaTrader by default may be found in the platform itself when adding an indicator to a chart, or here in the help guide:

The number of trades is likely similar to the VOL indicator:

The Buy/Sell Volume indicator shows a histogram of trades that are buys (at the ask or above) or sells (at the bid or below) which may be what you are looking for:

Volume Up Down shows volume data in different colors depending on whether the current bar is an up bar or a down bar:

If the system indicators don't suit your needs, you may be able to find relevant, publicly available, indicators on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:

• Install a 3rd Party Indicator or App

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
