I am currently trying to format the y-axis of the indicator panel of a NinjaTrader chart and have not found a solution. Here comes the first of my current problems:
(1) Indicator that displays the NOB spread. The NOB spread shall be displayed in '32 similar to the bond quotes.
The price marker can be correctly formatted by overriding FormatPriceMarker(), but how can I format the Y axis?
(2) I have a similar problem for the Heiken-Ashi indicator.
How can I format the Y axis for the lower panel to display pips instead of 2 decimal places?
I have not solved the original scale problem, but found the solution to another small NinjaTrader bug.
If you take a default bond or treasury chart, for example ZB 03-11 or ZN 03-11. and apply an indicator such as a simple EMA, you will observe
- that the price marker of the EMA does not show a correct value
- that the y-axis of the chart is shifted to the left
This can be avoided, if you add the following code to every (!) indicator, which is overlaid on panel 1 of the chart.
If have added this piece of code to the default EMA. Now the price marker is correct and the y-axis does not shift. The modified indicator is attached below.
I think that NT will address the bug in one of the next releases. We don't want to recode all indicators, do we?
