How to get a clock on the chart?

[Lonneman]

Hi,

I would like to have a digital clock in one of the corners of the chart (like 08:34:52) that is in sync with the bars, so I can see at a glance how much time is left till the bar closes.

How can I do that? Is there a script for this?

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

In order to view time remaining for the current bar you may apply the "Bar Timer" indicator within your chart window which is included by default within your NinjaTrader Indicator list.

I have provided a link below to our NinjaTrader 7 Help Guide that goes over Working with Indicators.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

No problem at all, glad to help out.

Have a great day and Happy Trading!

Hi , how can i add some alerts to the bar timer? like wen it reaches 50% and 90% perhaps?
a little help please?

This can be accomplished using the Strategy Wizard and set the Strategy action as an alert.

time and date

What about if I really want to see the time on the chart window?

So how to put time and date on the chart somewhere?

Hello Gregorio1980,

Thank you for your patience.

This would require the development of a custom indicator to pull the DateTime of the PC and display it in a string on the chart.

If you are interested in developing in NinjaTrader through NinjaScript, we have a fully documented help guide which will help you get started with Ninja Script. You will find language references to all of the methods and functions you will be using. You will also see a tutorial section which will help you create your first indicator and get you started with some of these concepts.
A link to our Help Guide can be found below: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...stribution.htm

I am also linking you to the Educational Resources section of the Help Guide to help you get started with NinjaScript: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._resources.htm

You will find Reference Samples online as well as some Tips and Tricks for both indicators and strategies:
