Hello,

I was wondering if someone would be willing & able to build me a couple custom market analyzer columns. I am completely ignorant when it comes to coding as no matter how many times I try, I just cannot wrap my mind around it. Would be willing to donate some currency for this service. I would like:

1) Custom column that compares current price to the 8EMA on whichever time frame I would like. I would like it to be highlighted green if price is above the 8EMA and red if below the 8EMA

2) Custom column that shows whether price is greater than or less than the 930 EST open. Again, I would like green for greater than and red for less than.

Thank you in advance!!

Here is a quick & dirty for the 1). Cell have to be set for
- green for +1
- red for -1
See https://www.screencast.com/t/Qw34QaUJaOb .

No time for 2) now, maybe later.

Sam,

Thank you for the reply. How do I get this import into Ninjatrader? I have copied the file to the market analyzer templates *folder and have gone into ninjascript editor and compiled indicators but I still do not see 'EMA8' available. Thank you again!

Open it from the NT8 editor then compile it (F5), or restart Ninja, it will then appear.
