Market Analyzer

[FutureTrade]

Dear Support

In the Market Analyzer I opened some columns for having a faster overview. Now I like to ad another column as indicator (I'm using the indicator I programmed in the chart) with following result to show in the Market Analyzer - I send you the condition only I use.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
return;

// set 1
if ((MACD1.Default[0] >= MACD1.Avg[0])
&& (RSI1.Default[0] >= 50))
{
BarBrush = Brushes.LimeGreen;
}

This code works very fine in the chart and will color the bar as LimeGreen but in the Market Analyzer it does not work. I see no LimeGreen Background as I defined in the cell condition. Why does not work in Market Analyzer?

Thanks for your help.

Hello FutureTrade,

Thanks for your post.

The indicators bar brush or plot color would not color the market analyzer cells.

The Market Analyzer can only provide simple single value condition evaluations and would not be able to perform if ((MACD1.Default[0] >= MACD1.Avg[0])
&& (RSI1.Default[0] >= 50)).

What you can do is to add a plot to the indicator for input to the Market Analyzer. This can be a transparent plot so that it does not change the indicators current functionality.
You can set the value of the plot to be 0 when the condition is not true and then set it to a +1 when it is true and if you have an opposite condition you could then set the plot to be a -1. In the Market Analyzer, when you add the indicator column and select the indicator, you would then be able to select the transparent plot and can then work with the values of +1, 0 and -1 in the cell conditions to color the cells as you wish and/or present text.

I've previously posted on how to do this, in a short video, in this forum thread: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...-analyzer-sort
