Ruler that shows number of ticks as we drag the mouse

[TraderIqbal]

Currently we can see the number of ticks between two points only after we click the mouse the second time. Is it possible to have the ruler show the number of ticks dynamically as we drag the mouse, like many other platforms? If it's not possible do you know any third party ruler that does this? I could not find it in the ecosystem.

Hello TraderIqbal,

Thank you for the message.

Unfortunately, we are not aware of a 3rd party add-on that does this so you would have to do some more internet searches and keep looking to see if something like that already exists.

We do have a Feature Request already created to improve and add some additional functionality to the Ruler Drawing Object so I will add your vote and suggestion to that for further consideration.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

I checked out the post and the idea of having a ruler that dynamically shows the number of ticks as you drag the mouse sounds like a game-changer. It could really streamline the trading process, offering a clear visual aid for precise analysis. It's like having a handy measuring tape while crafting your trading strategy.

In my view, such a feature could significantly enhance user experience, especially for those who rely on intricate tick-based strategies. It's all about maximizing efficiency and accuracy in our trading endeavors, right? Plus, it adds that extra layer of convenience without overcomplicating the interface.

I'd love to hear what others in the community think about this idea. Do you reckon it would be a valuable addition to NinjaTrader? Share your thoughts and let's keep this conversation flowing.
