Market Analyzer feature requests

[Pete S]

I've been attempting to use Market Analyzer as my primary tool for watching symbol info during the day. There are a couple of features from other similar programs that I miss. There may be ways to do some of these I haven't discovered yet. Let me just put them out there for your consideration.

1. Format a specific # of decimal points

2. Allow right alignment of columns...this in combination with #1 makes it easier to compare numerical values

3. Option to modify the Market Analyzer window title so it's easier to locate in the Task Bar when you have multiple running

4. An option to clear all instruments

5. Allow a color rule to be based on a comparison with the last value (so you can, for example, change the color if the bid is rising)

6. Allow a small amount of historical data within a single column...for example, I've seen this done with mini charts or just colored blocks representing the value in each bar

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestions. I will forward your suggestions to development and have them add it to our future enhancement list.

I second those features. Specifically the Window Title, number of decimal points.

I would also like to request that coloring will be based on other columns. for example: Color green if Price>SMA. Right now, my way around it is cumbersome: I need to create an indicator to calculate Price/SMA, add it to the Analyzer and color based on that indicator, even though I have no intrest in this data.

I join my fellow members in supporting the requests, (Some of them were already requested)

Number of decimal points has a workaround in user coded indicators. (But this facility may be available as a right click option to all indicators.)

public override string FormatPriceMarker(double price)
{
return price.ToString("N"+NumDecimals);
}
.........

Thanks.

I'll take my shot, lol, just to create demand but again if MA could scan Kinetick database NT would rule the school... I already think it does but the ability to code and scan would be unreal... along with the chart linking feature , a true dream come true.. doesn't seem like it should be that difficult to implement but what the heck do I know...

a silly but visually appealing feature for MA would be the ability to alternate row colors in properties ... scans just look better and are easy to read with alternating row colors...

Hi tshirtdeal,

Thank for those suggestions, and I have forwarded both of those to development.

If you send an email to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com and reference this forum, then when I hear back from development I can update you, and this thread with the relative standing of these items within the enhancements to NinjaTrader that we are considering implementing going forward.
