Hi Hifreq,

Thank you for posting.

There are a couple of spread indicators available on our forums that you can download and use in NinjaTrader.

Here are the links below.

Once downloaded you will need to import them into NinjaTrader.
To Import

* Download the indicator to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
* From the Control Center window select the menu File> Utilities> Import NinjaScript
* Select the downloaded .zip file
* NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.


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

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance

Thanks, you say indicator though i want pure price of one security minus the price of another. Is that the same forthe link you sent?

Hi Hifreq,

You would want to use the Spread Candlesticks, the second link, to get the price depiction you are looking for.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Pershing,

The first link I am providing is on the basic Spread indicator from our Forum.

The second one I am providing will generate a candlestick pattern for the spread

On these pages there is a Blue Down Arrow at the top next to the indicator name. Click this to download the indicator.

Once downloaded you will need to import it into NinjaTrader -

Dear Ninja
that indicator does not allow me to plot the spread between 2 indicatos... can you please help me on that?

Is there a specific formula?

[Pershing]

Also it misses the 0 line once you plot the spread
