I need help editing/modifying an existing proprietary indicator for Ninja Trader 8
A while back, I had a programmer create for me a candle stick pattern indicator. Similar to the one that is already available on the Ninja Trader platform, however my indicator includes sound alerts and the ability to change the color of the candles that create the pattern. Anyhow, I can no longer find that developer to help me further modify that indicator.
The problem I am having is that the indicator prints the name of the pattern on the chart, cluttering up my charts. I can only reduce type and size of the font, but I want the option of having it not show up at all. For example If I could change the color of the font I would select "Transparent" so that it would not longer appear on my chart.
If that is to difficult to accomplish then I would like to at the very least to able to abbreviate the name of the candle pattern. So in other words instead of it showing "Bullish Engulfing" on my chart it would show "BE" instead. "Morning Star" would be "MS"...I think you get the point.
Thanks.
