Candlesticks that adjust width based on volume...

[JS999]

A suggestion for a useful feature would be to create a type of candlestick chart where the width of the bar is dependent on the amount of volume that traded during that bar (wider bars = more volume). This is useful because it gives you an immediate visual relationship between price and volume in one spot. I know of one other piece of software that does this - how hard would it be to add this in to NT7?

Hello JS999,

Price Bars with Volume Width Sizing

I saw a post abut this in 2009 and a response to go to development, has anyone got it done?

On the Price Chart vary the Width of the BAR proportionate to the Volume traded during that bar?

Hello maddenmg,

Thank you for your post.

This item remains of development's list of future considerations for the software but unfortunately there is not currently any word as to if or when such a feature would be added to NinjaTrader by default.

In the meantime, this is something which could be created with custom programming. If you are not a programmer yourself any of the NinjaScript consultants listed at the following link could code this project for you: http://www.ninjatrader.com/partners....pt-Consultants
