Indicator representing PRICE with UP DOWN at zero line

[TwilightD]

Dear Team,

I am looking for an indicator which can plot PRICE with UP or DOWN at zero line or in HISTOGRAM format without price scale. Actually, my purpose is to see if the green bar is making or the red bar by seeing the indicator. Best is if the default ATR is plotted with histogram format instead of bar format. I can use it with default value of 1. If green bar is in progress it will plot the positive bar with ATR value and if red bar is in making then it will plot the negative or down bar at zero line with ATR value of the bar. So if possible please make the ATR code with HISTOGRAM or some other equivalent indicator if there is any.

Thanks for all the wonderful support

Hello TwilightD,

Thanks for your post.

Since it seems you are looking for an existing indicator and not information about programming a custom indicator, I have moved your forum thread to the NinjaScript File Sharing Discussion section of the Forums.

I am not aware of an existing indicator that accomplishes this specifically.

You could consider browsing the User App Share linked below for a possible solution.

Hello Ninjatrader_BrandonH,

Thanks for quick reply.

I am looking for programming information also regarding the ATR indicator with following conditions:

1st It should plot BARS with HISTOGRAM

2nd Up Bars are for Green Bars with value of ATR of that bar

3rd Down Bars are for Red Bars with value of ATR of that bar

Thanks

Hello TwilightD,

Thanks for your notes.

I have moved this back to the Indicator Development section of the Forums.

You could create a custom indicator that calls the AddPlot() method to add a plot to the indicator. This plot could be set to use the PlotStyle argument to PlotStyle.Bar to display as a histogram.

The ATR() method would be used to access ATR indicator values and you could assign this value to your plot to plot the ATR.

To change the color of a plot when a certain condition becomes true, you would use PlotBrushes.

To detect if the bar on the chart is an up bar (green) you could create a condition that checks if Close[0] > Open[0]. To detect if the bar on the chart is a down bar (red) you could create a condition that checks if Close[0] < Open[0].

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

Thanks for reply.

I am not familiar with programming. Is it possible for you to program the desired indicator?

I would be highly grateful.

Thanks
