Automated Strategy with Footprint / Volume Indicator ?!
NT8 doesn't currently let you access the order flow indicators in the strategy builder like other available indicators. When I inquired about this, they said that they had a feature enhancement request to enable this in some future version. I would suggest that you put in a request and add your vote to hopefully bump up the priority on it.
In the meantime, this is what I have done to get around this limitation. You can write a custom indicator that calls the available API, access the data you need and have your indicator "plot" that value(s). Then you can access your indicator and its plotted value(s) from the SB. I've done this with volume delta and can see that it can be done with vwap too. But I haven't looked at whether it's possible to read all the values from the volumetric (footprint) bars.
Happy to provide additional details about what I've done if interested, or brainstorm on what you're trying to do as we may be going down the same path. Feel free to send me a private message.
