Status Box

[Gumphrie]

This indicator displays the high, low, close and number of ticks moved for the current and previous bar. It also has a built in bar timer. You can display it on any panel in any background color and fontsize. It can be positioned in 6 different ways, top right, bottom right, stretched right, top left, bottom right, and stretched left. Also, if you increase your chart's right hand margin beyond the default width of size of 120 it will also automatically resize itself to fit.

So its a good general purpose indicator for any chart system. The screenshot is showing its use with the Adaptive CCI. Another option I like is putting it on the top price panel in a top-left position.

Status Bar for Day's O-H-L

I really like how I can use the Status Bar in the upper left corner and not have to give up precious real estate. It would be great to have the day's O-H-L data also. I have another status panel that has this data, but I don't like having to add so much extra space on the right side of my chart.

Could you add this data for us? Thanks so much for all your hard work.

marketguy2,

Sounds like a good idea.
I assume that would be another whole column which would probably be best made optional.

Status Bar

Yes - optional. Thanks.

Awesome indicator

Do you think you can make it plot only the High, Low and (High - Low)?

thanks

[Gumphrie]

Sorry marketguy2 and qitrader, I haven't had time to look at this. But most mods should be possible.

Status Box

Nice job, negates the need for the Data Box. One request, can you include a parameter choice to have the box display recenter at current price after each bar, so our eyes don't have to move away from the market action? Thanks. (Also, I'm looking at it after hours, so I don't know if the bar range number displays in red or green, depending on whether it was an upbar or downbar)

Hi, I like the tool.

but I can only see some quotes with the symbol "FESX" all the rest ( NQ, FGBL) are a blank green field.

Any hints ?

PNL on Chart

I am a big time Chart Trader. The only downside is the Chart Trader controls area takes up so much screen space. It would be great if the current PnL could be displayed on an active chart.

Addition of Volume to StatusBox

Gumphrie, I really appreciate this indicator.

Please can you add bar volume to the display - current bar and previous bar. However, so as to minimize resource usage, it might be best for volume to only update every second.

Another useful indication would be current and previous bar midpoints.

Thanks,
dsfalc

Anyone able to update this status display for NT7. It's very simple and provides very useful display.

Hi, dsfalc,

I like this indicator very much as well. Is there any update on modification for NT Ver 7.0??

[mrz350]

I can not make this work with NT 7. Does anybody know how to do make this panel work? Or, recommend another panel which displays hi lo for current and previous bar on range bars?

Hello mrz350,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

The reason why this indicator does not work on NT 7 is because it was designed to be used in NT 6.5. I have modified the code that was causing errors in the Log tab so that you would be able to use this in NT 7.

Just overwrite the old StatusBox indicator and then you may attach it to the chart.

Let me know how that works for you.
