Volumetric Bar Alert

[rdeste911]

hi there, I would like to set up a sound alert whenever a volumetric bar plotted on a 3min time frame has executed bids or offers higher than 1300 lots for ES, or even better when the difference between the two is higher than 1000 lots for a side, thank you in advance

Hello rdeste911,

Thank you for your note.

You can accomplish this by setting the condition for the alert in the alerts window to "Cross Over" to numeric value of "1300" and then setting the action to play a specific sound in the actions section of the alerts window.

I would also encourage you to review the alerts section on our publicly available help guide for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/alerts.htm

Let us know if we may assist further.

hi there, i have tried this before and its not working simply because the data series for the volumetric bar is purely based on price, it does not reflect the bids and offers populated inside the bar...
if I set a condition like you suggested it will only flag up once ES "price" cross above 1300

Hello rdeste911,

Thank you for the reply.

With this information, unfortunately it wouldn't be possible to accomplish this within the alerts window. Typically more complex alerts, we would recommend utilizing custom programming using ninjascript however the Order Flow + items are not currently available to use with NinjaScript.

Please let us know if further questions come up.

I would also like to use this feature (Order Flow + items available to use with NinjaScript)
Is it planned to support it in next version ?
