Hello ,

Has any one create a net change and % change indicator that would displays the information on the Ninjatrader chart itself ? Like Thinkorswim displays the netchange or % change of the instrument above the dom. Does any one know of an alternative way other than market analyzer to display those values.

I have attached an example from TOS.

Thanks a lot for your time..

Code
 
//Net change %:
DrawTextFixed("Change%", (((100/PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]*Close[0])-100)/100).ToString("0.00%"),TextPosition.BottomLeft);
 
//Net change (YC < close[0]:
DrawTextFixed("Change", (Close[0]-PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]).ToString("000000.0000"),TextPosition.BottomLeft);
 
//Net change (YC > close[0]:
DrawTextFixed("Change", (PriorDayOHLC().PriorClose[0]-Close[0]).ToString("000000.0000"),TextPosition.BottomLeft);

noticed a little problem today.

when market is higher, the net change would show a minus sign. and when market is lower, the net change would show a plus sign. the % change looks correct.

attached a new version.

I loaded your Net Change indicator on my charts, but nothing happens. ( I see no net change on the chart as your picture shows) Do I need to change settings for the indicator or what am I doing wrong? I can't believe Ninja does not have this already but yours looks great.

@gecko,

I haven't looked at this indicator for a long time.

but I do remember I updated it for someone. here's a newer version. no need to change any settings. it uses the nt prior day ohlc.

I feel embarrassed, but when I changed the Text Box color to white it magically appeared! My backround color is black so your box was hidden. Great indie!
Thanks again
