Has anyone programmed an indicator in NT that defines and colors new highs and new lows relative to the previous bars, it helps me in determining overbought and oversold conditions when comparing collective markets. i used to have it for TOS but dont have it for NT? There are some people selling this indicator for 145 bucks but jeez, really?

Thanks for your help if anyone can't point me

Coloring bars is not hard:

 
Code
                            
 if (colorBars)
            {
             
                
CandleOutlineColor Color.Black;
               
                if (
signal[0] == 1)
                
BarColor Color.FromArgb(255255192);
                else if (
signal[0] == -1
                BarColor 
Color.FromArgb(255255192);
                else
                
                    
BarColor tempColor;
               
            } 
You can see it's easy, just use BarColor and CandleOutlineColor. The logic on which bars to color is more complicated depending on your goal.

tr3nt,

There's a file on NT forum called NinjaPriceAction.

You could start with this and what Big Mike showed above to get close to what you're looking for.

For me, NinjaPriceAction is a neat visual, but a resource hog that was causing lags shutdowns in Ninja.
Just wanted to share my experience.

tr3nt, a visual idea of what you mean makes it always clearer to understand it - otherwise people often talk around about other concepts cause of not understanding exactly your needs.
can you post a screenshot of what you have in TOS / what you mean you want to have in ninja ?
would be great.

Since I can't bring up my TOS console due to the positions being transferred, I found the original website that gave me the idea for TOS. If I find my scripts I will post them.

I use new high new low to compare overbought and oversold in several mkts that mirror each other, in order to see some strength or weakness.

unless I am missing something how could they ask $145 for it? Does anybody think it worth that much? a 50 cents indicator is more like it.

I have updated the New Highs and Lows indicator, which can be found here:



A new high can now either be determined as the highest high or highest close over the lookback period. A new low can be calculated as the lowest low or the lowest close. The new indicator can display new highs and lows both as paintbars and via diamonds that plot above or below the new high or low.
