Hi guys,

This is my first post, please don't kill me...lol.


I am using NT and am stuck with the CQG feed. CQG does not have a combined Adv/decl total, so I'm stuck trying to create my own using their ^ADV and ^DECL.

It seems as though it shouldn't be that difficult, except that...well...I have no idea using NT. If it was easy language, I'd be having it flash colors and making fart noises by now. I'm not real impressed with the ninja script manual.

If someone could please help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. The idea of simply subtracting ^DECL from ^ADV and printing a candle seems simple enough...just no idea how to dig through all the useless information to find out how to do that.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide,


- Ken

Hi,
I am working on Adv/Decl myself. I had to put them in separate panels. Which is really not very helpful. An overlay function would be helpful. Just not sure, yet how to do that. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Good morning, I have a few days with this topic.

I got the line A / D + Accumulated for a linear representation.

With kinetick to day works well.

Hope you can serve.

A greeting.

Hi Ken,

You can create a custom script that would plot the difference. I see someone just posted a script that might do what you are looking for. The entry point for programming in our Help Guide is here ( Alphabetical Reference) however, if you are not a programmer you could ask the NexusFi (formerly BMT) community to help out our contract a NinjaScript programmer to develop this for you. At this time, NinjaTrader does not support the ability to combine multiple DataSeries and plot them as a single candle.

1) make sure you have access to ^ADV, ^DECL
2) import indicator t4tSpreadSym11
3) load ^ADV, ^DECL than add indicator then move it to top of chart, see pic.

Isn't the indicator in the image just showing the ADV data therefore it's not combining the ADV and DECL data to give one true line representative of both ADV/DECL. Has there been any improvements since this was posted 2 years ago?
