Name: DrawCandleClose Version 1
This indicator was created to show the Closing price when the CandleStick Opening and Closing price were the same and a Transparent Body Outline color was specified. Standard NT 8 CandleStick Closing price is drawn with the Outline color and is Transparent when that color is Transparent.
Note that NT7 had logic to draw a Black Close line, if the Outline color was Transparent and the Background color was White. This logic has been removed in NT8, so the problem appears in NT8 regardless of Background color.
NT8 DrawCandleClose Indicator is obsolete. Use fix described below. Attached file is a dummy file to meet posting requirements. Please download the file to log your interest in this fix, but do not install downloaded file. Instead, apply the fix manually. Never blindly replace standard files because of the risk of back leveling.
If you would like to have this fix standard NT8 CandleStick behavior, then post your vote for Tracking ID # SFT-818 to threadhttps://forum.ninjatrader.com/showthread.php?t=79416
Examples Top CandleStick:Chart Style = Candlestick with Black outline.
Middle CandleStick:Chart Style = CandleStick Transparent Outline After Fix
Bottom CandleStick on Black Background After Fix:Chart Style = CandleStick After Fix
NT8 Fix for Tracking ID # SFT-818 , Missing Doji when CandleStick Outline Transparent:
Description: Always draw the Doji Close line with the Wick Color instead of the Outline Color. This eliminates the inefficiency of having an Indicator check every CandleStick bar close for Open==Close and overwrite the already drawn Transparent Close line.
Applying this fix in no way changes the appearance of CandleSticks that have bodies. This can be verified with the examples provided.
I recommend the following to apply the fix. It may seem complicated but will save you time in the long run. Note that it is undocumented but NT Backup never includes files that begin with the character "@".
1) Copy \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ChartStyles\@CandleStyle.cs
2) Paste the file and rename it @CandleStyle.cs Before SFT-818
3) Edit @CandleStyle.cs with Notepad
4) Make changes to lines 63 & 64 with Notepad and save changes
5) Compile any file with NT Editor and Exit NT Editor. New @CandleStyle.cs will be used in the compile.
6) From next start of NinjaTrader, CandleSticks will use Wick Color for Doji Close line.
7) Copy \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ChartStyles\@CandleStyle.cs
8) Paste the file and rename it @CandleStyle.cs After SFT-818
Any NT updates will replace @CandleStyle.cs so you will have to make the changes again. Create Before and After copies of the update, as you did above, adding the update number after 818. Never blindly replace standard files because of the risk of back leveling. You can use Winmerge to compare updated @CandleStyle.cs and @CandleStyle.cs After SFT-818 and reapply fix to updated.
Cleanup:
1) Delete Indicator DrawCandleClose.cs, if it exists, from \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators.
2) Start NT Editor > Right click on blank form and select Compile to remove DrawCandleClose Indicator.
NT will automatically remove the Indicator from any Charts that use it.
Test:
Create a CandleStick chart with Transparent outline. Verify that you see Doji.
If you installed Chart Style Doji then:
1) Change Charts that use it to use CandleStick instead.
2) Delete ChartStyleDoji, if it exists, from \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\ChartStyles.
3) Start NT Editor > right click on blank form and select Compile.

New V1.2 VERY IMPORTANT FIX
Includes:
* 6 levels of gradient stops, so you can set your gradient coloring to anything you want.
* 2 new functions in the 'Addons' folder that you can use in your own indicators to help make linear gradients easy.
* Simple toggle to reverse coloring without having to enter all new brushes again.
* RSI, CCI, Stochastics and Double Stochastics.
Update: Dec 2015
* Added ability to not plot the indicator in the lower panel, just paintbars or background. Make sure you place the indicator in the 1st panel. The plots/price marker should automatically become transparent.
Update: Jan 2016
* VERY IMPORTANT FIX. Made gradient "Get Color" more efficient. Was making new LG every bar. Now it instantiates once.
* Added Stochastics and Double Stochastics.
* Added an average line if required.

The Ninja team beat me to the punch on this one....
I coded this for NT7 long ago and posted on BMT and Ninja. The Ninja team opted to converted it to NT8 early. Since I coded it originally, I am re-posting here.

Here is a sample of a panel button that turns an indicator visibility on/off via a 'click'. You do not have to refresh the chart each time.
Version 3.2
* Fixed for NT8b9. Recent NT8 changes to multi-threading created freezing when the chart was loaded.
I was so used to my MarketDelta buttons that I had to do it for NT8 .
This indicator draws an EMA both via the Plot method and the OnRender method so you can see the code for both techniques.
Thank you very much to "Edge" for the original "button" code and help.
Version3 - Nov 2015:
* Used 'UserControlCollection' instead of 'ChartControl' for safer usage and it does not interfere with the bars or plotting.
* Created smaller button.
* You can have up to 10 buttons per panel (or more if you change the code). So you can add 10 ema's and specify which position you would like via 'Column#'.
* Buttons are hard-coded to plot at the top-left of the panel but you can change this in the code if you like via 'myGrid'.
* The button will appear within the panel the indicator is plotted. Please read the 'summary' at the top of the code for limitations of usage. Use at your own risk.
Version 3.1
* Fixed bug that prevented button working when state changed from Historical to RealTime.

Up candle is a hollow candle. This code was originally uploaded I believe by eDanny on NT 7. If you like dark or even black background and want to be easy on your eyes this indicator will help you.
I did added some comments regards to the conversion process on the "NinjaTrader 8 Indicators and More" thread.
Tested with NT 8 B06.

V1.3
Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) Suite V1.3 - Basic - NT8RC1
Updated to RC1 Sep 2016
Another platform look-a-like.............visually 'cloned'.
Make sure you unzip the zip file first before importing or you will receive a NT8 import error! There are multiple files within the first zip file.
1. New HLC ChartStyle to reflect the rounded look of the TGv4 platform.
Two coloring modes are select-able:
VSA logic. eg. Close[0] > Close[1].
Normal HLC eg. Close[0] > Open[0].
Up, neutral, down and 'lastbar' colors are selectable.
2. VSA volume bars.
Up, neutral, down and 'low volume' colors are selectable.
Bands can be turned off but colors are hard-coded based on the TGv4 platform.
Width of volume bars changes automatically to match the price bar width.
3. VSA SMA.
Up, neutral, down colors are selectable.
The custom diamond plot is hard-coded but the size is user selectable.
Hard-coded to Median input.
4. VSA Price Line
There are 4 user selectable plot modes to "hopefully" cater for different uses.
Please unzip the .zip file first and read the instructions.
The period settings of the SMA and the volume bars MA and bands are visually cloned and may therefore be off slightly, so adjust to suit yourself.
There is plenty of 'OnRender' custom plotting included if you wish to dig your teeth into NT8 ninjascript.
Update: V 1.1 Nov 2015
Can now choose colors for the equal close bar and last/live bar.
Can now plot your own paintbars over the top of the chartstyle.
Update: V 1.2 Dec 2015
Fixed a bug: Removed the custom 'icon' due to errors when using two or more tabs with the same VSA chartstyle. Please download again or you will lose your tabbed charts!

No recorder needed, but chart data series must be in tick replay to show historical data. Tick replay makes it SIMPLE to code indicators like this.
Two indicators based on bid/ask delta:
bar histogram of non-cumulative delta
or
candlestick plot of cumulative delta.
These here versions only shows the information for the instrument on the chart. However, this can be done for instruments that are not on the chart. For example could show the delta for the SPY or the NQ contract on the chart of AMZN, synchronized to the bars of AMZN so that bar spacing would remain equidistant.
The screenshot only shows the cumulative version.
The installer will put these indicators into a new FOLDER called unGom Delta. un Gom.... get it?
For both versions, the opening value includes the delta of the first trade. That's why the bars on the histogram do NOT start from the zero line, which would be WRONG. The opening bar should include the data from the first trade. The data from the first trade should NOT be thrown away as in those "other" versions of these indicators.
Same plots as the MAMA "system indicator". That version was translated from TradeStation® EasyLanguage® code without taking into account the coding flexibility of Ninjascript®, resulting in a bloated resource hog.
Changed code to eliminate unnecessary, duplicative calculations.. there were A LOT of them.
Added multi color plotting.
The indicator will appear in a new FOLDER called Moving Averages.. look for it there.

Name: SetNinjaTradersPriorityHigh Version 1.1
Exported with: NT 8.0.0.9 64-bit (Multi-Broker) - BETA
To Import Indicator Into NT 8:
1. Download the attached file by clicking on the blue downward arrow or the NT Chart image. Save the file. Do not open it.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript...
3. Type into the first field the folder that contains the .zip file downloaded by your browser. When first displayed the field has C:\Users\ ... .
4. Press Enter.
5. Select the downloaded .zip file then click the Import button.
ReExported with: NT 8.0.0.9 64-bit (Multi-Broker) - BETA to fix Import error.
Updated: Oct 21, 2015 5:55AM - New Priority value of BelowNormal. New parm Show NT Priority. Priority now also checked/set in State.Terminated.
All the applications running on your computer equally share your computer's resources. The NinjaTrader application runs at Normal Priority with all the other applications. Especially during fast markets, when other applications are running on your computer, NT is not processing incoming data as quickly as your computer would allow and possibly losing trade data from your market data service. By default, this Indicator sets NinjaTrader's Process Priority to High, giving it preference over other applications that are running.
This Indicator allows you to set NT's Process Priority to one of four values: High, Above Normal, Normal, or BelowNormal. You may want to use High during your trading day and Normal at other times. You could also set it to BelowNormal to do backtesting in the background while you use your computer for other tasks.
Adding this Indicator to one chart in your Workspace will set NinjaTrader's Process Priority until you exit NT. The Indicator will check before setting the Priority and do nothing if Priority is already set to the Priority specified in its parameter.
Quoting from https://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/23830-processor-priority-level-set-processes-windows-8-a.html : "Windows 8 shares the processor time between all running processes based upon their priority level. If a process has a higher priority, it gets more processor time compared to a process having a lower priority. . . . The changes you make to the priority level of the current instance of an application or process are only temporary and not set permanently. Once you close the application or restart the PC, Windows 8 will automatically set the priority back to default for the process or application."
Parameters:
Select Priority - Select High, Above Normal, Normal, or BelowNormal for NinjaTrader's Process Priority. The Default is High.
Hide Indicator Name - Prevent display of indicator's name at top of chart if true. Default is false.
Show NT Priority - Display NT's Priority at top of chart. Default is true.
To have nothing displayed at top of chart set Hide Indicator Name parameter to true and Show NT Priority to false.
Debug message to Output Window - If true then debugging Output messages printed.

I originally developed this indicator for NT7 and now have converted to NT8. It simply plots lines on chart at price lines specified in a text file.
A few times NT7 would drop a line I added through Draw Tools, or I would accidentally delete a line. So, I created this indicator that plotted my important lines each time I loaded the program or reloaded NinjaScript. I have found it very handy, so thought I'd share it (first-time post).
It plots lines on chart at price lines specified in a text file. Indicator reads in standard text file with the following format(each field required and is separated by tab in the text file):
price desired price level for line to be drawn
height (not currently used)
color desired color in text format eg. Red, Blue, Black
width desired width of line
label (not currently used)
File name consists of concatenation of instrument+suffix (suffix is an input parameter) -
Indicator determines the instrument and then joins it with the suffix provided
eg. TF-Zones.txt (for the Russell instrument)
The filepath is an input parameter (any valid path) -
History:
v1 20100807 - @Aslan created to go with BetterRenko
v2 20100812- @Aslan changed to paint OHLC bar for live bar
v2 20150719 - @Dalebru converted to NT8. Exported with NinjaTrader 8.0.0.5
v2 20170102 = shanmugs added missing "Open" line
v2 201070201 - @DaleBru exported with NinjaTrader 8.0.4.0

This is the NinjaTrader 8 version of BetterRenkoV2.
This Renko bar type is backtestable. It does not generate false "fill-in" bars. It maintains a true OHLC and displays properly with the Candlestick ChartStyle. If you want it to look like bricks, use the BetterBrick ChartStyle.
This is a tick-based bar, so initial loading can be slow. The NT8 "Break at EOD" feature is also supported, allowing bars to continue across session breaks.

May 18th, 2020 03:35 AM pipextract Cant see the chart-style in the drop down menu. I compiled the chart style
December 22nd, 2015 02:15 PM Seanbeshore1 Does not show as option as Brick in Data Series options. Image shown with download is BetterRenko not Better Brick.
February 18th, 2020 04:16 PM sigmatrader Yes, when used in NT8 v 8.0.20.1 there is some kind of sync problem between the updating price on the right scale, the B
ar Data indicator and the symbol price.
February 14th, 2018 04:38 PM memdawg Is anyone else having trouble plotting the bars on the chart? I can see from the marker that it's working but bars are n
ot visible. Everything seems ok in the settings.

o they're out of the way when looking at higher timeframes.
January 1st, 2016 11:23 PM Jaba Very useful. Is NT7 version available?
April 2nd, 2018 07:23 PM Trailer Guy Thank-you! I use DI system as a trend filter. Not something you want to take the time to read on one minute charts when
the futures are moving! Your histogram on top of the DI is a really great solution. I get what I need with a glance, but
can still read the details if I wish to. I think this is a better solution than the background color change version I w
as using with NT 7. Thanks again.

February 18th, 2017 01:12 AM xlb4udie A masterpiece. Use of Color/Gradient gives bars life and character. Amazing.
