Can someone refer me a tool for Ninjatrader 8 that will show the average swing length in ticks over a specified period of time? One that also shows average swing up/down would be even better.

@nguyen74, this post might at least get you part of what you want by adjusting the Swing Parameters to suit your timeframe of interest

Thanks! I've looked at that before. However, I'm not looking for something that will provide just swing length on each swing but rather statistical info like average swing length over a specified period of time or range. I don't believe the indicator you posted provide such data.

Could also use this tool along with any zig zag indicator of your choosing:

This indicator will write all of the chart's historical bar data and indicator data to a CSV type file

Thanks! I tried it with the PriceActionSwing indicator but it doesn't actually give me the swing data I need as seen on the chart by the PriceActionSwing indicator.

Take a look at the anaIntradayRangesV12 which is an NT7 indicator.... don't know if there is an NT8 version. This will show the average range for individual bars based on the range of that bar over x weeks back. So, it will show the average range for the hour before the Open and the Hour ( or whichever bar length you choose ) after the Open based on the historical ranges of that specific bar/time period. I find this more useful than an average range based on x consecutive bars.
