Is it possible to code a flashing object ( i.e. an arrow, a triangle, dot, diamond, etc.) in an indicator in NT7? It will be interesting to have a flashing alert, buy, or sell signal on the screen.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
NinjaTrader is event driven, both OnBarUpdate() and Plot() will only be triggered with a new incoming tick. So it will not flash, if no new ticks are registered. Also the Draw() methods can slow down NinjaTrader considerably, if frequently executed (news release), a flashing signal might contribute to a freeze of NT. Not recommended.
I think that a sound alert with a rearm interval is a much better option to attract your attention than a flashing signal. You will even notice it, if you are watching some pretty girls through your office window.
p.s. My sound alerts are tied to my intercom system and I didn't want the pretty girl to run upstairs every time she hears the whistle and I am in a trade )
