Questions on custom T&S on bar indicator

03-25-2024, 01:32 AM

Hello, I have a custom T&S indicator to display time and sales at the current close of a bar. Attached is what I currently have, and I have the following questions. 1) Is there any way for me to determine within the 1 tick additional data series that it is a buy or sell order? I have tried if Close > Open brush = green, however that didn't work. and 2) Is there any way to move this text to the right of the bar as displayed in the screen shot? Thanks in advance

Hello rbeckmann05,

You could add a 1 tick ask series and a 1 tick bid series if the connection you are connected to provides this data which might be easier.
AddDataSeries(string instrumentName, BarsPeriodType periodType, int period, MarketDataType marketDataType)

NinjaScript > Language Reference > Common > AddDataSeries()

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/adddataseries.htm

AddDataSeries()

Or you could use Bars.GetAsk() / Bars.GetBid() and compare this with the last price.

NinjaScript > Language Reference > Common > Bars > GetAsk()

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/getask.htm

GetAsk() - Bars

NinjaScript > Language Reference > Common > Bars > GetBid()

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/getbid.htm

GetBid() - Bars
