% change plot

[nina2020a]

Hi ,
I was trying to find how to pull the price % change value from NinjaTrader.
I looked this link to check the dll functions.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?dll_interface.htm

Closest one I found was
"int Last(string instrument, double price, int size)
Sets the last price and size for the specified instrument"

Want to create a graph/chart for % change of symbol.( eg ES = 0.34%, 6E= 1.2%, CL= -0.72 % etc)
X -axis : time interval ( 1 min)
Y -axis : % change.
Multiple symbols need to be plotted. Curve for each symbol will have different color.

To-be plot will look something like this -

What is the best way to plot % change for a symbol ?

Thank you in advance

Hi nina2020a, unfortunately percent change charts could not be supported. It's an item on our feedback list for future consideration though and I will make sure to add a vote on your behalf in as well.

So why not just call the supplied indicator for each symbol, or write the code to do the calculation and assign to each symbol by using either BarsInProgress or by using Closes[n]?

Hi koganam,
Thanks for the input .
ROC indicator sort of does what I am looking for . I dont have programming background .

So can a developer plot multiple symbol ROC's on the same chart ?

It can be done, either programmatically, or manually.

Eventually the data is going to come out of IB.

Hopefully IB API has some function like reqMktData() that will fetch the Price change %.

So I was thinking , would it make sense to just extract the data directly from IB ?

Thanks
