Equivolume Candles?

Sorry, but I'm not sure how one accomplishes that. Anyone?

I don't know how you create a new type, however I did manage to get it to override a chart type that I hardly ever use (the Box type). All you have to do is change this line:

public CandleVolStyle()
: base(ChartStyleType.CandleStick)

to this

public CandleVolStyle()
: base(ChartStyleType.Box)


It will then override the Box type instead of the standard CandleStick type, which will let you switch between normal and equivolume candles.

Can someone tell me if the equivolume bars download exists,where it is located,and also if NT 7 has been released.

Thanks in advance.

Laredo, I sent you a PM with some more detailed instructions. Here it is again though:
1. Put the file here: Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Type
2. Open any existing indicator in the NinjaScript Editor (Tools->Edit NinjaScript->...)
3. Click the compile button
4. Restart ninja 7.
Now there should be a new entry in the chart type dropdown called CandleVol.
Set the bar width to 9 or 10 or else it will be too narrow.

Hello,

if anyone has been successful in installing the candlevolumebars script and has a moment,I am not able to sort through it.Its doesnt install in any way similar to other downloads I am using and I would sorely like to be usingit.
Thanks

I installed this for a friend and it looks good - except for the fact that a wide volume bar can obscure all or part of the width of a preceding bar, making the prior bar's actual width harder to discern. Increasing the space between bars doesn't help make it clearer.

which download did you use?

I was able to use this indicator on previous Beta versions but can not use on Beta 18. When I go to compile I get error message saying that there are programimg errors. Did something change in Beta 18?

I tried the unmodified version (without change to box style default) and this worked.

Try changing ChartStyleType.CandleStick to one of the Custom types. ie ChartStyleType.Custom0
ChartStyleType.Custom1,ChartStyleType.Custom2 etc. There are 10 customs 0-9.
It worked for me. Nice to have candlevolume on NT. Thanks all for the code.
