Volume Speed

[optiontrader]

Hello everyone! I am new to NinjaTrader and I am in the hunt to finding a sort of indicator that will tell me the speed at which shares are being traded. Can anyone help me with such an indicator. Thank you in advance.

Hello optiontrader,

Thank you for your post.

I am not aware of such an indicator. There is a also a growing library of user submitted custom indicators (100+) that can be downloaded from our support form. Please look in the NinjaScript File Sharing section of our support forum as you may find what you are looking for there: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...splay.php?f=37

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for the quick reply! I have been looking all around here for what I am looking for and can not find it. Where can I go for help on developing such an indicator? I have an idea of what I need in order to make this happen but don't know where to start. TIA.

Hello optiontrader,

Thank you for your response.

If you are considering developing this yourself, you can ask for assistance here.

What ideas are you currently working on for this indicator?

My thought is that all I really need is to gain access to the 'time and sales' live data. I am not sure if that could be accessed by on NinjaTrader. If that is not possible, I am open to all ideas and suggestions. I need/want to know how many shares have traded on a per minute bases. Very much like a speedometer on a vehicle....

Hello optiontrader,

Thank you for your response.

You can use OnMarketData() to pull the data used like Time and Sales. For information on OnMarketData() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...marketdata.htm
You can view an example of a timer under Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator > BarTimer.
