Help needed: script for Market Analyzer

[by_maxxx]

Hello everybody!

I'm pretty new to Ninja Script programming and was trying to make it through Indicators Wizard, but failed to compile the script...:(

Could anyone please help me with the following question:

I want to create a very simple indicator, that I could put in Market Analizer to see the following for the list of stocks:

1) If Current Daily Bar Open > Previous Daily Bar High = Market Analyzer will Indicate GAP UP (Green)
2) If Current Daily Bar Open < Previous Daily Bar Low = Market Analyzer will Indicate GAP DOWN (Red)

Thanks a lot in advance:)

Hello by_maxxx,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

For scanning in the market analyzer, you can work off plot values. A common approach is setting your plot as 1 when the condition is true and 0 otherwise. You can then check when the column is 1 and color based on this value.

Here's how the high portion of your condition might be written:

if (CurrentDayOHL().Open[0] > PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[0])
Plot0.Set(1);

else
Plot0.Set(0);
