What is the best way to find my mouse across multiple monitors & charts?

[Newtrader101]

I tried an addon from the NT eco-system, but did not like it. Within Windows, I added the option to highlight my mouse when clicking the Ctrl button, but this did not preform correctly in NT8.
Is there another way to locate my mouse across multiple monitors and charts?

Hello,

Thanks for using NinjaTrader.

At this time, there are not any features within the NinjaTrader platform to highlight the mouse on the PC at this time.

You are welcome to do some additional internet searches and see if there are any Windows features or other programs that add something like that as a feature to your PC.

Also, we will be leaving this forum thread open in case there are any other users with suggestions to add.

Please let us know if we can be of any further support.

I assume your looking for something in regards to Global CrossHairs..
Had that same issue when I started using them and came up with this..

Import, apply to chart, and pick your active/ inactive color/styles..
This script only works w/Global and Global No-TimeScroll Crosshairs..

Thank you for your suggestion/idea. I downloaded your scrip and imported into NT8, but I'm not sure how to apply it to a chart. Could you please advise?

Thank you again!

Once imported, you would apply to chart like any other default indicator..
Indicator Properties Window.. 1/2 way down list.. Name = HTGlobalCrossHairs

Is it also possible to just show the vertical line?

NT's default cursor does not have the ability to show only the vert or horz line.
If you wanted something like that, you'd have to render which ever line yourself.

Although, the cursor can be set to Display Cursor Only, and not draw either line.

ChartControl.Properties.CrosshairDrawCursorOnly = true;
