Market Analyzer Description Column

[KBJ]

See the attachment for a copy of the (admittedly very simple) source code to implement this new column definition, which will give you a description of each instrument displayed in the Market Analyzer so you don't have to remember the ticker symbols.

The attached screen displays the difference in what you see if you select "Description" in the market analyzer, and it also displays where the attached C# source code file gets placed to make this work, which is in the \bin\Custom\MarketAnalyzer\ folder. After copying the source file to that folder, then you must have NinjaTrader compile some (any) indicator or strategy and this new column definition for the Market Analyzer will also get compiled as a "side-effect".

After that, it should work as shown.

Hi Paulo, welcome to our forums! After the copying in of the file, please open any NinjaScript indicator (Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator > Open anyone) and hit F5 to compile all your studies! After this the 'Description' column should appear in your Market Analyzer! Thanks!

Hi Paulo, not sure, I just tested this on my end and it works well. Please go to MyDocuments\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom\MarketAnalyzer and delete the DesciptionColumn.cs file.

After this recompile your files - there should be no errors coming up now, correct?

If this is the case, please recopy it from the forum to this folder and compile again all files by hitting F5 in any file.

If you see other programming errors, you would need to resolve those first, here are some helpful tips - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4678

For anyone who is using this Market Analyzer add-on, I've just updated the source (see posting #1 in this thread) so that it now handles the "Total" row that can be enabled in the properties screen of the Market Analyzer.

I did as suggested. Does it support mutual funds?

Thx.

Sorry, I've never done anything with mutual funds, so I cannot tell you, but my guess is that it should work OK if you can get the mutual funds to display with NinjaTrader.
