Net Change Indicator

November 2nd, 2011, 03:55 PM

Hello ,

Has any one create a net change and % change indicator that would displays the information on the Ninjatrader chart itself ? Like Thinkorswim displays the netchange or % change of the instrument above the dom. Does any one know of an alternative way other than market analyzer to display those values.

I have attached an example from TOS.

Thanks a lot for your time..

Code

 
//Net change %:
DrawTextFixed("Change%", (((100/PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]*Close[0])-100)/100).ToString("0.00%"),TextPosition.BottomLeft);
 
//Net change (YC < close[0]:
DrawTextFixed("Change", (Close[0]-PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]).ToString("000000.0000"),TextPosition.BottomLeft);
 
//Net change (YC > close[0]:
DrawTextFixed("Change", (PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]-Close[0]).ToString("000000.0000"),TextPosition.BottomLeft);

noticed a little problem today.

when market is higher, the net change would show a minus sign. and when market is lower, the net change would show a plus sign. the % change looks correct.

attached a new version.

I loaded your Net Change indicator on my charts, but nothing happens. ( I see no net change on the chart as your picture shows) Do I need to change settings for the indicator or what am I doing wrong? I can't believe Ninja does not have this already but yours looks great.

@gecko,

I haven't looked at this indicator for a long time.

but I do remember I updated it for someone. here's a newer version. no need to change any settings. it uses the nt prior day ohlc.

I feel embarrassed, but when I changed the Text Box color to white it magically appeared! My backround color is black so your box was hidden. Great indie!
Thanks again

would be nice to be able to select two colors for positive change and negative change ?
thank you very much
