I'm looking for a fast moving indicator that will show the running number of ticks "from entry" for whatever contract I'm trading. I don't need this indicator to be in the form of a bar, but rather as a simple numerical indicator that would increase (or decrease) as it moved away from my entry price. Flexibility regarding the placement and font size of this indicator (similar to what exists with the countdown timer) would be ideal.

You could do this with the Spreadsheet System for Trading study, and the Text Display for Study study: 1. Add the Spreadsheet System for Trading study -Give it a name in the Spreadsheet Name field -On the spreadsheet, put this formula in cell O3: =IF($J$8>0,(E$3-$J$48)/$J$21,IF($J$8<0,($J$48-E$3)/$J$21,0)) To assure that this study can't make any entries: -Put this in J28: =TRUE -Do not put any formulas in columns K,L,M,N 2. Add the Text Display for Study study -Set the 'Study and Subgraph to Display' to the spreadsheet study's SG5. |
