Indicator for currentBars

[lucyb]

Hey, I'm using NT8 via a virtual machine on Mac and for some reason Drawings created by strategies will not draw on my chart. I guess it's a limitation of the virtualmachine.

Indicators do however work.

I want an indicator that displays the same number as the currentBars variable in strategies on my chart. All the indicators I've found simply display the bar count from the start of the day session but it seems like currentBars is showing the bars starting counting from the weekly session?

In the script output I can see the bars seems to start counting from 06.21.24. So today for example my bars are already around 1500 on the 2000 tick chart.

The indicators I've found simply number the bars from the start of the day session.

Hello lucyb,

Thank you for reaching out.

I would suggest searching the user ecosystem for custom NinjaScripts that may accomplish the same goal or closely resemble the indicators your have mentioned;

Please try searching here:

Trading Indicators | Automated Strategies | Trading Apps | NinjaTrader Ecosystem

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:
Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:
