There is seldom any need to use it by itself, but the SUM indicator is important because it is often called upon by other indicators, which might be set to CalculateOnBarClose = false.
It is also inefficiently coded. Two logic tests that are performed on every tick only need to be performed once per bar.
Correcting this reduces the CPU load when CalculateOnBarClose is false. For COBC true, it does not make any difference.
Therefore consider REPLACING the existing file, @SUM, with this one, using Windows Explorer.. NOT the Ninjascript installation utility.
I don't think a screen shot is necessary for this one.
WRONG FILE had been uploaded. Corrected file uploaded at 2:45 PM ET January 3 2012. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and please accept my apologies.
Pretty much, this indicator will create a MTF version of any indicator with 6 plots or LESS. In the indicator parameter just type in the name of the indicator you want with all the parameter exactly as it appears on a chart(excluding the input series). Choose your time frame and you are done
I added some functionality to the standard Tick Counter which comes with NT. The Tick Counter Custom allows you to set the size and font for the tick counter.
Additional Functionality:
I like to enter a trade when the tick count gets below a 100 ticks left on the current bar. However, watching the tick count was always cumbersome. So, I added functionality which changes the color of the bar once the tick count gets less than 100 ticks. Use the TickChange in the parameters to set to your custom level. The color of the bar is can be set to your preference.
Notes:
The % left no longer functions properly. So don't use it!!
If you don't want to use the warning bar color simply set it to 1.
More improvements to come!
Updates:
Ver1.2
Note: found a bug in ver1.1 code related to changing the Font. It seems when another indicator is added the tick counter disappears. Simplified this version to changing just the Font Size.
Version 3 - added PAN toggle button on tool bar, when pressed puts into "set" panning mode - no need to hold CNTRL key down. Select PAN button to exit this mode. Pressing and releasing CNTRL key exits "set" panning mode. ESC key press and release exits "set" panning mode.
Version 2 - code clean up and optimization
Many thanks to Devdas for the ScrollsLite code, my inspiration for MousePan.
For as long as I have used NT I have wanted the ability to pan around on the chart. I got used to using the control key to do the vertical and then use the control key to do the horizontal. I asked NT support why does the UI not offer the ability to hold the control key while on the graph and allow me to pan around... Panning around is what you do with google maps - we all know how to do that. Devdas introduced ScrollsLite the other day, but it did not offer exactly what I was looking for plus it has a little more than I need. So I started there and came up with MousePan. Install it on your Chart Panel, move the mouse to a location that you will not select a drawn item. For example don't move the mouse over a bar, keep it just off the bar. Next press the control key, then press the left mouse button. With both the control key and left mouse button pressed, drag the chart around, or pan around on the graph. Maybe someday the NT UI will have something like this built in. Again, many thanks to Devdas.
ScrollsLite is simplified version of original Vertical Scroll Tools from last year.
I have removed some unnecessary code/objects/features but still maintaining basic needed functionality,
* Vertical Scroll Bar, AutoScroll Button and Vertical Drag …
Here is a current version of the Donchian Channel indicator I had modified. You can change all the plot settings to color and sizes that work for you, also included in this is the ADXVMA indicator that can filter the Back Ground Color plots. There are so many ways to plot this indicator you will just need to play with it.
The Inputs are in alphabetical order so you will need to pay attention t what you are changing, I dont know how to change them in the programming....
In the jpeg you will see the 2 inputs that will need to match some preset ATM strategy you have already done, if you would like to be able to quickly place that ATM strategy order at the given Entry Dot location, this will not move the order once it is placed, that is up to you to manage, this is just a fast way to colorize your entry....I have used this alot but you are responsible for your own trades....PLEASE USE IN SIMM MODE UNTIL YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS....
Any additional questions feel free to ask, anyone who can make improvements please feel free to do that also....
Again a big thanks to all that post great trading tools in this area!
This indicator can toggle the grid line color to transparent (invisible) and back.
I made it switch colors so the price intervals stay the same as opposed to switching off the gridlines completely.
Toggling is done via toolbar button.
User settings allow to select horizontal, vertical or both gridlines.
