Market Analyzer NT7

[ij001]

Hello there,

I have gone through the help guide section on this topic but still need help.

- I have a custom indicator that prints out a double value in MA
- How do I override that double value with values of my own?
- Currently I have a string output but I could create a double for the output.
- I just am not sure how to call it correctly and the SampleBoolSeries from other posts confuses me because its been some time.

Thanks

Hello ij001,

The Market Analyzer shows the value of the Plot that is selected.

If you are wanting to change the value shown in the Market Analyzer column from the selected plot, set the Value in the indicator to the value you would like.

double myNewValue = 100.25;

Values[0].Set(myNewValue);


Below is a link to an example that demonstrates setting the value of a plot to use for a filter in the Market Analyzer.

The way my indicator works is I successfully plot the String using DrawTextFixed.
Ex: DrawTextFixed("tag5", iStageString[0], TextPosition.BottomRight);

I don't have anything added as a Plot using price so using Value[0].Set confuses me.

What would you suggest?

Hello ij001,

It would not be possible to have a drawing object value appear in the Market Analyzer.

If you are going to be displaying a number, then I would recommend adding a Plot to your script and setting the Value of the plot to the value that is being set as the text for the drawing object.

Below are publicly available links to the help guide on Add, Plot, and Value.

If you need to display letters instead of numbers in the Market Analyzer, this would require a custom MarketAnalyzer.Column class script. These were not officially supported for NinjaTrader 7 and are not documented in the NinjaTrader 7 help guide. (Though custom MarketAnalyzerColumns are supported and documented for NinjaTrader 8)

For an example of a MarketAnalyzer.Column script you can take a look at the (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\MarketAnalyzer\@Ask.cs script. You will need to use a text editor outside of NinjaTrader to view or edit these type of non-supported scripts such as Notepad or Visual Studio.
