Indicator plot in market analyzer

[brucelevy]

I have an indicator that plots a black background in the lower panel and gives an audible alert when triggered... However in market analyzer the indicator only shows the price of the instrument. I don't believe I have it coded correctly to plot anything as there is nothing in the initialize section. I would like to have it show which market the signal was given through market analyzer - perhaps highlight yellow for a minute

if ()


{
BackColor = Color.Black;
Alert("myAlert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Break in Long Trend", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);

Hello brucelevy,

The cell color conditions in the NinjaTrader 7 Market Analyzer columns is based on a number.

If you want to be able to color the cells, you would need to plot a value that you can use to trigger the cell condition.

For example, you could have the indicator plot 1 and this would be a trigger to make the cell yellow. Then plot 0 and this would remove all coloring. Then plot -1 for a red color.

Attached is an example indicator that plots based on a cross. When there is a cross above it plots 1, when there is no cross it plots 0, when there is a cross below it plots -1. Included is a template that will set the cell color conditions to use these values.

(edit)
I'm also attaching a version that triggers an alert to the Alerts window directly.

(update July 15, 2018. I'm also including an old strategy that includes sending an email.
Below is a link to a video of testing the script.
