Hey fellas,

I was wondering if anyone's seen an NT8 indicator that highlights a bar if it's over a certain tick size?

Many thanks.

I tried this indicator and when I select 10 ticks, it will high light 10 point bars only. Anyone know how to fix that?

Thank you!

Pasted BarSize into the \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators file...its there as a .cs but not in the list of indicators when you go to apply it to a chart...got BarTimer but no Barsize....closed the NT and reopened....nothing there.... put a @sign in front like the other indicators....that didnt work either....does it have to be imported to that location rather than just copied from the download area..............Got it......Added another indicator thru the import feature..... took out the @ that was in front of BarSize indicator.....all of the sudden .....it showed up.....I have yellow bars, i am assuming that is the highlighted bar....and they are different size even though i only asked for 4 tick size(5 second chart)

This one will calculate in ticks. The one that was posted before, the highlight bar was defined in points.
