This is simply a NT8 port of the Chart Notes control that I downloaded from futures.io.
I simplified it, in that there are now one set of parameters for each corner of the chart where text is possible. In addition, the string[] parameter did not work in the property grid. Switched to a normal string with a multiline editor.
Minor problem: for some strange reason, the ENTER key does not work in the multiline editor, so it is not possible to add additional lines of text. For the moment I just work around this by adding a few empty lines and later using a very brute force (dumb) approach to strip the empty lines. Works for the moment.
Must reference the assemblies: System.Design and System.Drawing.Design. These are needed to use the multiline input controls in the property grids.
I have had this indicator converted from NT7 for use on NT8
This indicator shows volume at the time of day relative to the prior n days. This is very useful in terms of identifying when volume is picking up or slowing down. The absolute value is not as important as whether it is rising or falling. As participation changes, the price action changes too. Probably one of the best ways to analyze volume/participation in the markets.
Tried and tested on NT8 8.0.0.12 64-bit (Standard) - BETA
Really simple indicator that highlights the specified time window on the chart. Useful for differentiating RTH sessions from ETH sessions. Just add the indicator to your chart, set the time window (in your local time) and highlight color.
Volume based indicator. It has no period or parameters required. There is one option to show the Bar-Bar accumulation if desired but the default is the "summed" value. (integrated over time)
"The Volume Accumulation indicator combines volume and a price-weighting that attempts to show the strength of conviction behind a trend; the Volume Accumulation indicator might prove useful in uncovering divergences. The formula for the Volume Accumulation formula is shown below:
Volume x [Close - (High + Low)/2]
The formula only gives positive volume to the day if the close is higher than the midpoint of the high and low. If the close is towards the lower half of the range of the price action, then volume is negative for the day."

Updates 7/14/2016:
- complied on NT8b12, may not work in earlier versions
- thanks to Sim22 for some great code modifications to make the chart more stable and kill some bugs
This is a standard footprint chart that shows bid/ask market orders or volume/delta bars. It doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that some other (paid) versions have, but I find it sufficient for my needs.
Candlestick bars can be shown to the left of the footprint bars and/or as an outline in the footprint bar. It also allows to indicate the close and high volume bars in the footprint.
If you find any bugs or have any enhancement suggestions, please PM me.
NOTES:
You must turn on Tick Replay otherwise the chart will not show historical bar values. Charts that do not support Tick Replay (Renko for example) will not work. Line charts will also not show the footprint bars.
Charts with a high Days to Load value (15+) will take more time to initially load as there's a lot of values to historically calculate before the chart can be displayed.
I suggest using a fixed width font (Consolas, Lucida, etc.) for the Bar Font as the numbers line up and makes the chart more readable.
There's no easy to way that I found to auto scale the bar width and spacing based on the font size, so these are manual adjustments via Bar Spacing and Bar Width. Bar Spacing controls the spacing between the bars and Bar Width controls how wide the bars are. If you change the font from the default Consolas 12px, you may need to increase or decrease these values to adjust the bars.
The chart will attempt to auto scale to compress the footprint bars so there's little to no spacing between the bars. The scaling is based on the chart window size, so if you size the window small, it may not look great if there's a lot of bars on the chart. If you don't like the auto scaling, you can turn it off in the indicator properties via Visual->Auto scale.

This is an indicator submitted by tropical recon... as his indicator has not been updated on the board thought i would add it here from the ninjatrader forum.
look to the original repeater description to understand its use... great utility indicator for mapping events with time and regions and days...

Sample - How to manipulate MarketAnalyzer display V1 NT8b11
This is only a basic sample I've been toying with. You can use this concept for coding your own indicators. I became frustrated with the lack of display customization I've been accustomed to with other platforms (TS RadarScreens etc.) so I thought I'd play with some ideas.
On my analyzer I want values, colors and arrows. Normal fonts don't really have that flexibility.
I made four new fonts that are packed with heaps of new symbols and arrows so it should suit everyone.
(Sorry, only Latin type alphabet included - if you need Russian or something, let me know).
To access the new characters, open Character Map and peruse. See instructions.
I also had the issue of coloring the analyzer cells to the conditions I wanted. Is an EMA value of 1225.25 up or down?
I have modified the code to deceive the anayzer so it will color the cells accordingly.
I have also added a 'barsAgo figure that gives you an idea of how to add extra values to your display.
It's not exactly finesse but it works
Please extract the zip file first. It will not import directly to NinjaTrader.
Import the fonts first before opening NT8 or it will not detect the fonts are installed
Find included:
* Full instructions. Please read them first!
* Four new fonts that are packed with 100's of new symbols and arrows.
* Template.
* Code on how to manipulate your market analyzer display.
Small shortcomings:
Read the instructions.

Drawing Tool Toolbar V3.5 NT8b11
Critical fix V3.5. Please remove all previous versions from your charts before installing, then reboot NT8.
*As of NT8 beta 11 this is functional but may need updating in the future. So please be patient. The toolbar still has minor bugs (see ** section at the bottom) so please recheck here for new updates from time to time. Please let me know if you are having any unusual issues, since it is working for most users. Since we are all still learning the intricacies of NT8 , this toolbar is a project in progress
Make sure you extract the zip file first or it won't import! When you download the zip file it will still be named V1....this is a forum issue....but you will find the updated version inside. Inside you will find instructions and icons to use. Read the instructions carefully or you will have icons missing etc.
Displays functioning drawing tool icons on the left of the chart.
* Accesses drawing tools via hot keys.
* The user can select which drawing tool icons are to be displayed.
* Set icon size from small to large.
* Appropriate drawing tools have a drop-down color palette.
* Toolbar width automatically adjusts to the height of the chart to accommodate the icons.
* If you can code: You can add your own custom drawing tools with comments to help you with insertion.
Coding examples:
* Multi-dimensional arrays
* Working with grids/wrap panels
* Windows and NT8 menus
* Adding bitmap images to a menu
* Using virtual keystrokes to activate hot keys
* Accessing drawn objects and manipulating their properties.
* Parsing string values
Version 2 is also included. It is now superseded by V3 but included for code examples using buttons instead of menus.
A big thank you to Chelsea Bell @ NinjaTrader for the toolbar structure sample. This toolbar had to be completely re-engineered for Windows Presentation Foundation.
As always, please send me a personal message if you have a bug, query or request.
Update history and potential problems:
Update V3.5 July 1 - Critical Fix: Fixed some termination issues from V3.3.
Update V3.4 June 26 - Stopped the toolbar from hijacking indicator-created drawing objects.
Update V3.3 Fixed Andrews Pitchfork channel colors.
Added complete removal of objects upon termination.
** Known issues reported, which I will endeavor to fix:
1. Issues with tabbed charts. Toolbar replicates itself when using tabbed charts.
2. Drawing tools will not change color on a tabbed (behind) chart.
3. Arc will not custom paint an area color. (Probably NT8 bug).

April 7th, 2017 11:31 PM SDR2014BMT This works perfect for me- thank you so much!!!
September 7th, 2016 10:56 PM waverider I REALLY appreciate when people put free indicators up, I do, but this one fails in the same was as the other one I foun
d (although I get it does the one thing right).
I want to highlight the ETH and LEAVE the RTH (because my chart is already black I'd prefer to grey out the ETF).
But this handles 10:00 TO 16:00 but NOT 16:00 to 10:00. It seems to get confused.
Also, (and possibly to account for this) it would be awesome if it could do more than one time zone.
September 16th, 2022 11:27 PM lewtamarilla Thank you for this. Really needed this to keep my mind on task during trading.
July 19th, 2021 02:44 PM prutrader Nice
July 10th, 2020 10:42 PM BoltTrader Thank you! Does exactly what I needed.
November 26th, 2018 04:40 AM Flyboy1966 Enter as you said doesn't seem to work but if you type what you want on first line, then put your cursor on the next lin
e and left click. Of course enter takes you back to the chart.... not so bad once you figure it out..... Thanks a bunch
