Any other challenge out? We should do this again! Did we get enough interest in it?

"The great Traders have always been humbled by the market early on in their careers creating a deep respect for the market. Until one has this respect indelibly engraved in their makeup, the concept of money management and discipline will never be treated seriously."
Good idea Sody.... I am out of time to do any indies for quite a while... We are doing a major redo on the yards and I am the chief cook and bottle washer.... There are some sharp trader / coders out there.... and I would bet that Ninja would be thrilled to have a larger pot of quality indies available.
We are bringing this NinjaTrader Challenge back to NexusFi for 2024!
Given that we have several challenges ongoing, I have altered the payout as follows:
We will award one prize for this specific event for every month.
Only new indicators submitted during the challenge month will be considered.
Winners will be selected based on popularity -- determined by the number of comments/ratings the indicator receives. We cannot measure based on downloads, as it is too easy to cheat. So we measure based on number of comments/ratings each indicator receives, as it's common for people to rate the indicator they download. We ask you to be honest!
Based on this, don't delay with your uploads! You are free to upload more than one indicator!
Prize:
1st place = $50 Amazon Gift card PLUS a $149 Elite Membership free coupon to give away to whomever you wish.
One prize per member, resets after six months. NexusFi reserves all judgment on how to award prizes or declare winners.
Good news -- what you're describing is one of the most common requests among ES and CL traders using NinjaTrader, and there are solid options already out there.
Free Options First
The NexusFi Downloads section has several free indicators that cover portions of what you're looking for. Some plot session highs/lows and opening range levels. Worth browsing before spending money.
Commercial Solutions
If you want everything in one package with clean labels:
Chart Spots makes an Initial Balance & Daily Levels indicator that covers most of your list
These typically run $50-150 and handle the tick-by-tick calculations you mentioned.
DIY Route
If you're comfortable with NinjaScript, the standard approach is using AddDataSeries to add a hidden RTH data series to your ETH chart -- then you reference that series for session values. Not trivial if you're new to coding, but plenty of examples exist in the NinjaTrader forums.
For ES and CL specifically, the levels you listed are bread-and-butter reference points. Previous day RTH high/low and the opening range (IB) tend to see the most action. The weekly levels add context for bigger picture structure.
What's your priority -- do you want a ready-made solution, or are you looking to build something custom?
