[llanqui]

Hello,

Are there examples of how to use an indicator in a Market Analyzer, so that RealTime data is available to the indicator?

Indicator Code and how to set up_

thx

Hello llanqui,

Any indicator that sets a plot value and has a public Series<double> returning the Value series for that plot can be used in the Market Analyzer.

Below is a link to an example indicator that will plot when a cross occurs.

To add an indicator to the Market Analyzer, add the Indicator column and select the indicator from the drop-down.

ok, thanks...I've ported from NT7 and could not see where NT8 was so different

I need to be more specific....

How can I tell State = State.RealTime data from State.Historical?

in an Indicator that is running inside a Market Analyzer?



The indicator you linked to does not differentiate....

It seems that an indicator running in Market Analyzer cannot tell the difference?

but if it is running on a Chart, it works as expected?

Thx

Hello llanqui,

There are quite a few changes from NinjaTrader 7 to NinjaTrader 8, particularly on the override method names.

Below is a link to a forum post on porting scripts.

How can I tell State = State.RealTime data from State.Historical?

if (State == State.Realtime)
{
// this is realtime data
}

if (State == State.Historical)
{
// this is historical data
}

Below is a link to the help guide.

in an Indicator that is running inside a Market Analyzer?

The above is still true, this does not change because the indicator is added to a Market Analyzer window. Nothing about the indicator changes when added to a Market Analyzer window.

The indicator you linked to does not differentiate....

The example I provided does not differentiate between State.Historical and State.Realtime.

You asked:
"Are there examples of how to use an indicator in a Market Analyzer, so that RealTime data is available to the indicator?"

All indicators have real-time data available to the indicator if you are connected to a real-time data. There is no question about differentiating anything in your original post.

It seems that an indicator running in Market Analyzer cannot tell the difference?

Yes, an indicator added to any window can check the State property. See above.

but if it is running on a Chart, it works as expected?

This makes no difference. Chart, Market Analyzer, SuperDOM window, called from a Strategy, all the same. The State property works the same.

Are you sure you are asking about an Indicator and not a different type of script? (MarketAnalyzerColumn scripts are not indicators)
