Market Analyzer column question

[derivtrader]

Hi..Is it possible to create within Market Analyzer a column that shows what percent last price is from 52 week high. i.e. 52 week high 100, last 95, column displays -5.00%.

Thanks

Hello derivtrader,

Thank you for the post.

Yes that is possible. As a starting point you could review the existing High52Weeks column in the NinjaScript editor. That would be how to get the 52 week high metric from a column. You could duplicate this script as well if you wanted to just start with that code in a script.

Next you would need to create a double variable and store the 52 week high.

Finally during the OnMarketData events you could observe the MarketDataType.Last events and during those events calculate the price using the variable and current market price. (See LastPrice column code).

The calculated value can then be set to CurrentValue.



I look forward to being of further assistance.

Jesse thank you for the reply. Unfortunately above my minimal programming knowledge. Was hoping for a solution using properties configuration.

Hello derivtrader,

This type of calculation would require making an indicator or custom column to calculate the value unfortunately.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
