Chart with Arithmetic operations on instrument [values]

[joe11]

Hello - I know this is not possible in NT7, but is it possible in NT8? Please see chart snapshot below. Can we get a chart of GOOG-YHOO, GOOG-2*YHOO, or (ES 12-18 - YM 12-18), etc? TIA!

Hello joe11,

Are you trying to get a spread?

There are spread indicators for both NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8.

Appreciate your quick response.
I am familiar with Spread indicators you mentioned. I was looking for a " native* " spread chart where I could use a number of built-in and custom indicators on the resulting chart.
Many charting platforms have had this for a while, so I thought NT8 would support it.

The problem with a Spread indicator is that I would have to use "indicator on indicator", that doesn't always work out as expected.

Is there a Spread indicator in Ninja Trader that plots the spread as a candle/bar chart instead of the line plot?

Thanks again

Hello joe11,

No, there are no spread charts or indicators included with NinjaTrader.

Yes, there is a spread indicator with candlesticks. Below is a public link.

Thank you. Is there an NT7 version of this spread indicator with candlesticks?

Could I get this spread with candles indicator updated to use decimal quantities also, please? For example, I would like to chart (2.55*GOOG)-(0.77*AMZN), so if I load the updated indicator on a GOOG chart, the inputs would be: Symbol2=AMZN, Qty1=2.55, Qty2=0.77.
TIA!

Hello joe11,

The decimals can be controlled by overriding FormatPriceMarker().
