I need somebody that could code a NT8 Indicator.
The purpose of this Indicator is measure distance (number of ticks) from PRICE to any indicator (my choice) that is plotted on chart.
The indicator should allow me parameterize these setups below:
Choose the indicator that I want to measure distance from price
Input the number of ticks (distance)
Load a sound file (when distance is equal or 1 tick greater the number of ticks, indicator is going to give me an alert sound)

The indicator should work with any instrument and with any timeframe.

I've been looking for something like this for a while but no luck. And if you plot the difference between price and "the target" as a histogram (on a lower panel), look nice too. I am no coder. Hope someone can take a look at this.

You can probably achieve this with NinjaTrader's built-in Alerts (right-click->Alerts) and then compose the conditions.
