Changing Fibonacci display format?

[utilizator]

Hello,

Is it possible to, programmatically, modify the display format for a Fibonacci object? For instance, removing the prices (xxxx.xx)? -- please see attached image, thank you

Hello utilizator,

Thank you for your note.

Is this a manually drawn fibonacci or being drawn from NinjaScript?

I look forward to your reply.

Hi,
I draw the Fibonacci by script. I tried something like

        Func<double , string> func1 = (x) =>
            string.Format("new format = {0}", x);  
Fib.PriceLevels[0/*this is 100% level*/].ValueFormatFunc = func1;

but it did not change the default format that we can see in the attached image ...

Hello,

You could set a template which does not include the price and fib percent’s, but not the retrace levels without the price. This would be possible by modifying the fib drawing object.

The easier approach, to remove both price levels and fib percent’s:

Manually draw a Fibbo on a chart, then double click on it>properties. Set Text Location to “Do Not Show”. Then click template>save>default.

After you set and save a template of your ideal fibbo, you can then use the Draw.FibonacciRetracement with a syntax that includes a template name. So under syntax at the following link, you would want to use one of the last two which include string templateName.

You would pass your template name to this method. If set up like the screen shot you would pass default.

If you are set on having the percent’s without the you would want to modify the Fibonacci Tool under DrawingTools in the NinjaScript Editor.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello, Will it be possible to add to the properties of the Fibonacci Object the option to make visible only the percentage of retrace levels like the attached example on the right but hiding the price? If there is way to modify the NinjaScript.DrawingTools.FibonacciRetracements please let me know or please make the modification to the properties window to allow this option. Thank you.

Hello KRAIT Trader,

Thanks for your post.

The option to show only the percentage does not exist. I will create a feature request to suggest that we provide the option. Once the feature request has been created I will update this thread with the feature request number for your future reference. A feature request does not mean the feature will be added. It does allow us to track interest in such a feature.

The source code for the Fib tools is available in the platform under the Drawing tools folder in the Ninjascript editor. You can create your own Fibonacci Retracement tool in the platform by making a copy of the existing tool and modifying it to perform as you wish.

Alternatively, you could hire a 3rd party programmer to perform this for you. f this is of interest we can provide a reference link to such programmers in the NinjaTrader Ecosystem.

Hello KRAIT Trader,

Just to follow-up on the feature request information.

Your vote was added to the existing feature request identified as SFT-440," Option to remove Fibonacci percentages but leave the price values (and vice versa)".

Thanks for your interest in improving the NinjaTrader platform.

Feature Request Disclaimer.
We receive many requests and cannot reasonably implement all requested features or changes. Interest is tracked internally and if enough interest is tracked, it would be weighed against how feasible it would be to make those changes to consider implementing.
When new features are implemented, they will be listed in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide. The ID number will be different than the internal feature request tracking ID, but the description of the feature will let you know if that feature has been implemented.
