Is there a way to show price & time when hovering over a chart? (Like on ToS)

[EnveousColnago]

New to NT. Is there a way to get it to display the time and price of your cursor location when you hover over a chart? Like in the attached pic?

Hello EnveousColnago,

Thank you for writing in.

What you are describing is the crosshair option inside of NinjaTrader's charts.

Please follow the steps below to change your cursor to a crosshair:

• In your chart window, right-click and select 'Crosshair'
• Select the 'Crosshair' option you want to use

Here is a link from our help guide about the different crosshair options: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...cross_hair.htm

Please let me know if I could be of any further assistance.

How can I access the date(or time) of where the cursor is in Ninjascript. For currentBar, I could use Time[currentBar], but want to use cursor date/time. When I have linked seconds charts,I want to show the date at the top of the screen when I scroll in another window.

Hello plutotrader,

This would be possible using ChartControl and ChartScale while subscribing to MouseMove events. I have attached an example that can demonstrate.

ChartControl.GetTimeByX - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...gettimebyx.htm

ChartScale.GetValueByY - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...etvaluebyy.htm

We look forward to assisting.

I've been using this FREE BarInfo indicator. It's exactly like how TOS has it. https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...nload/barinfo/

Hi Jim,

The mouse move detector works very well inside the chart window, but it stops working when I
hover my mouse over price scale, wonder what I did wrong.

Thanks so much

Hello warpinator,

The price scale does not have bars in it.

The indicator only works when the mouse is placed over the bars in the chart.
