Plot Bid Ask volumes on chart

[merzo]

Hello,
how can I plot

e.MarketDepth.Bid[0].Volume;

on my Chart?

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
You could plot this value by creating a Plot and then setting the Plot in OnMarketDepth() to e.MarketDepth.Bid.[0].Volume

For example:

protected override void Initialize()
{
    Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
}
protected override void OnMarketDepth(MarketDepthEventArgs e)
{
    Plot0.Set(e.MarketDepth.Bid[0].Volume);
}

For more information on Plots please see the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/plots.htm

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.

Thanks for your reply.

What if I want to use DrawText?

Parameters:

string text = e.MarketDepth.Bid[0].Volume
double y = Bid value

thanks for your help

Hello,
You could create a DrawText() object that uses the e.MarketDepth.Bid[0].Volume by setting a double to the bid volume in OnMarketDepth() and then in OnBarUpdate() use the DrawText() to have it use the variable.
For example:

private double bidVolume = 0.0;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{ 
     DrawText("bid volume" , "e.MarketDepth.Bid[0].Volume " + bidVolume, 0, bidVolume, Color.Black); 
}
protected override void OnMarketDepth(MarketDepthEventArgs e)
{
	bidVolume = e.MarketDepth.Bid[0].Volume;
}

If you have the DrawText() object plot at the y value of bidVolume variable like my example does it is important to understand that if the chart is showing a price such as 1000 and the volume is say 100 then you would need to scroll down to 100 to see the text object or you can turn on autoscale which would shrink the the chart.
Please see the following link on the DrawText() method: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...7/drawtext.htm

Hello CodyB,
Thanks for your help but unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for

I think it's the fault of my English, sorry about that


I am trying to print the first level of bid and ask on my chart

Please view the image





Not in OnBarUpdate() but in real time as SuperDom upgrade
The level of y is dynamic, corresponds to the levels of bid and ask prices

Cheers

Hello,
You could have the DrawText() method in the OnMarketDepth() method event then.

There is an indicator on the forum that plots the levels of market depth on the chart that you may you could use as a reference. This indicator can be found at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...hp?&linkid=339

To Import

Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.

From the Control Center window select the menu File> Utilities> Import NinjaScript

NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

Right click you chart > indicators > Select the Indicator from the list on the left > New > OK
If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.
