With NinjaTrader, it's possible to build custom drawing tools that monitor mouse location and clicks in relation to price bars. This unlocks unlimited possibilities in the creation of new drawing tools. We can also track mouse events within an indicator. Below are a few practical applications.
Mouse Hover Logic
Display extra information about a bar only when the user rolls their mouse over it. For example, mark signal bars with arrows and hide additional details until hover — removing chart clutter while keeping information accessible.
Mouse Click Logic
Create mini buttons directly on the chart for adjusting indicator details on the fly. Toggle features, change parameters, or trigger actions without opening the indicator's properties dialogue.
Unlimited Possibilities
Be as creative as you want. Literally anything is possible when it comes to indicator or drawing tool development — bring us your idea and we'll find a way to build it.
