Hello mosalem2003,

Thanks for your note.

You can find an Ichimoku indicator from the following search results.
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...chimoku&desc=1

To import indicators you will need the original .zip file.
Follow these steps to import an indicator:

1. Download the indicator to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Note that on any files that say "File already exists on your PC" that start with an "@" symbol are the ones that came preloaded inside of NinjaTrader so you would say "No" so that you do not override those files.


To measure the ticks between two price points you will need to create a custom NinjaScript.

The code would be something like:
int ticks = (int)((Close[0] - Open[1]) / TickSize);


The date is currently shown in the window's title bar at the top of the chart.
If you would like to show the date in a text box on the chart itself, you will also need to create a custom NinjaScript to accomplish this.
