How do I reference a bold Bid/Ask line in the market depth map

[Austiner87]

Hi NT8,

below is a snapshot of the Order Flow Market Depth Map indicator. I have colored the Bid lines bright green (lime) and the Ask lines bright red (red). In a ninjascript strategy IF statement, I am looking to reference lines like the one pointed out on the attached snapshot - bold, very distinct, obvious, as an entry signal. Can you please help me understand how I would reference the very distinct lines like this for an if statement: IF(distinct, bold, Ask line happened in last 10 bars) THEN{EnterLong()}.

Thank you.

Hello Austiner87,

The Order Flow Cumulative Delta, Order Flow Volumetric Bars, and Order Flow VWAP are able to be called from an unlocked script.

The Order Flow Market Depth Map, Order Flow Trade Detector, and Order Flow Volume Profile scripts are not supported to be called from a NinjaScript.


If you are drawing drawing objects, you can save the line to a variable so that you can reference the drawing object at a later time.

You can also loop through the DrawObjects collection.

Where you are drawing objects, if you want to signal that knows if an object was drawn on that bar, you could have a custom series like a Series<bool> that is set to true from the same condition action block that draws the drawing object.

Then you check if the series was set to true in the last 10 bars.

Hi Chelsea. please confirm:

are you saying that I would have to create a drawing object by hand (with my mouse) on the bold line in my picture, and from that created object I could have a strategy that coudl take it as an entry?

or are you saying that I can have a strategy create a drawing object on top of that bold line from my picture, and after this automated drawing object is created, I could use that drawing object as an entry signal in a strategy (potentially the same strategy)?

thank you!
