Hello rwlink3z8 ,

Thank you for reaching out.

You can accomplish this by adding a Market Analyzer, and then adding 2 Indicator columns, one with the Up Volune and one with the Down Volume.

There is also a "Volume up down" indicator you can add to your Charts.



To add a Volume Up/Down indicator to both your Market Analyzer and Chart, please follow these steps: Adding the Volume Up/Down Indicator to a Market Analyzer

1. Open Market Analyzer:
   • Go to Control Center > New > Market Analyzer.
2. Add the Indicator:
   • Right-click within the Market Analyzer window and select Columns.
   • In the Available columns list, scroll down and select Indicator.
   • On the right, choose Volume Up/Down from the Indicator dropdown.
   • Configure any specific parameters if needed, then click OK to add it to the Market Analyzer.
3. Adjust Settings (Optional):
   • You can further customize the indicator display by adjusting properties such as color and display options within the Columns settings.

Adding the Volume Up/Down Indicator to a Chart

1. Open a Chart:
   • Go to Control Center > New > Chart.
   • Select the instrument you wish to view and click OK to open the chart.
2. Apply the Indicator:
   • Right-click on the chart and select Indicators.
   • In the Available indicators list, find and select Volume Up/Down.
   • Adjust any parameters as desired, then click Add to apply it to the chart.
3. Finalize the Indicator Settings:
   • Once the indicator is added, click OK to save your changes and view the Volume Up/Down data on your chart.

These steps should get the Volume Up/Down indicator displayed in both the Market Analyzer and on your Chart.

Hello rwlink3z8 ,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately this is not a native/default indicators in NinjaTrader 8.

However, 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:

that doesn't answer my question - i have the code, i'm not sure what isn't calculating correctly

[NinjaTrader_Erick]

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Is the code you are working with, a script coded by yourself using the Strategy Builder, or was it acquired from a 3rd party?

If it is your own code, please contact our engineering team at

[email protected]

and they will be able to guide you further in this regard.

If it is a 3rd party strategy, you would want to contact the developer for assistance with their software.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
