Referencing a Market Analyzer in a Strategy

[WolfTrader9]

I created a Market Analyzer to find the stocks with the largest increase for the day. However, I can't seem to figure out how to reference it in my strategy.

Is there a way?

Thanks,
Benjamin

Hello Benjamin,

Thanks for your post.

To clarify, did you create a custom MarketAnalyzerColumn NinjaScript or did you create a custom Indicator NinjaScript?

Indicator scripts could be accessed in a NinjaScript strategy but you can't access the market analyzer cells directly in a custom strategy.

We are tracking interest in the ability to access market analyzer cells in an existing internal feature request ticket. Please let me know if you would like me to add your vote to this feature request.

I look forward to assisting further.

Brandon,

Please do add my vote. There are many more strategies that could be employed if you can select stocks that are starting a predictable pattern that lasts only a short amount of time.

Also, would it be reasonable for an indicator to keep track of the several thousand stocks and send the cells with a 5% or greater increase for the day to a strategy?

Thanks,
Benjamin

Hello Benjamin,

Thanks for your notes.

I have added your vote to this feature request. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-6110.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted on the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

This would likely be possible but would possibly utilize a large number of resources.

You could consider creating an indicator that calculates and tracks that value for individual instruments and writes information to a file using a StreamWriter and then use a StreamReader to read the data in the file.

Or, the indicator could have exposed variables holding the calculated value that could be accessed in a NinjaScript strategy.

Here are some reference samples you might find helpful.
