Plot T&S in chart

[brucelevy]

Hi, how can I plot T&S feed to be overlaid on the chart?

I am able to pull the T&S data and display the most current T&S data in the top right, top left, bottom right, bottom left, or center location. However it is only showing me the most current data, I want to be able to collect and display all of the incoming data in a column on the chart.

For example, have the last 50 T&S plots coming down from the top left side of the chart in a column.

Hi brucelevy,

This would require a custom coded indicator to achieve.

Attached is an example indicator that demonstrates how to find the information displayed in the Time & Sales windows to the output window running from a chart.

With NinjaTrader 7, you can add this text to a text box using supported methods, however, this would not be scroll-able.

Using unsupported methods, you could create a custom panel on the chart to display this information by modifying the chart controls.

Attached is another example that demonstrates how to use unsupported and undocumented methods to add a custom panel to a chart.

I see the new window added to the side of the chart, but under where can I enter data to plot? I can't seem to get any text to show up in the new window.

Hello brucelevy,

You would need to use winform code to add controls to the panel.

_windowPanel.Controls.Add(myObject);

Keep in mind that doing this is not supported by NinjaTrader Support to do. This example I provided you is an unsupported example that is meant to steer you in the right direction.

Thanks, I am just having trouble getting the T&S data to load from top to bottom. It is doing it in the output window but only showing one refreshing line of text in the new window panel.

Hello brucelevy,

You would need to be aggregating the data to a larger string.

string resultString += string.Format( "{0:HH:mm:ss} | last: {1:0.00}, ask: {2:0.00}, bid: {3:0.00} | volume: {4} | color: green", e.Time, e.Price, askPrice, bidPrice, e.Volume );

Then setting that resultString to a textbox or some other type of control and that control would be placed within the panel.

As this is not supported by NinjaTrader Support to do, I would not be able to assist with this.
