Stochastics not plotting - with Attachment to reproduce

[tazatek]

I've tried to create as minimal of a test scenario as I can.

This works in NT6.5, but not in NT7 B12

Not sure if I've missed one of the upgrade guidelines, have a system problem, or if this is a bug.


Essentially, I've duped my exact scenario that I have in a full blown indicator, so I've got the exact functions (even if empty in the example), just to duplicate it as I'm using it.

Essentially, in NT7, there is a straight line drawn on the bottom.

In NT6.5, Stochastics are drawn.


Could someone take a moment and identify if this is a coding error on my behalf, if I've stumbled onto something bigger, or doing something I'm not supposed too (like an unsupported feature of some kind)

Thanks

tazatek, are there any errors in the logs (right-most tab of Control Center)? By "straight line drawn on the bottom" do you mean that nothing is plotted or the plot never changes?

[tazatek]

Nothing in the logs...

By straight line, I mean a line with a pricemarker of 0 for the entire history of data...

If you run the demo that I uploaded, and open up an output window, you'll see that the input values are good values, but when Stochastics() is called with those parameters, 0 is returned.

I just had it happen to another one of my indicators that I'm working on too... it must be something I'm doing, but I can't seem to see it.

Did you have a chance to run the indicator I uploaded? What should be a stochastic is just a horizontal line at price 0.

I think that this is actually a dup of my other thread here. They presented differently so I initially opened them as two different issues.

tazatek,

You cannot do this line:

Indicator = Stochastics(slowPeriodD, slowPeriodK, slowSmooth);

This is not supported.

[tazatek]

so what would be the right way to initialize such an IDataSeries with something that is going to hold an indicator series?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

tazatek,

Why can't you just call the indicator directly like how you are already doing in OnBarUpdate()?

Otherwise I believe you can try something like this (Note that this is unsupported):
private Stochastics someStoch;

I'm passing a DataSeries (Indicator) around into several functions....of which the indicator isn't set at compile time, but at run time (via a dropdown).

Things work fine in NT 6.5, but seems to be breaking in NT7

The example is just a slimmed down version of something much more complex... so I can't just do what I'm doing.

I don't think I'm doing anything too off the wall, but some suggestion of something that will work in NT 7 would be appreciated.

Surely there's a supported way of doing this?

Thanks

[tazatek]

Would something like this work/be supported?

IDataSeries Indicator
Indicator = new DataSeries(Stochastics(14,7,3));

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Unfortunately not.

What you could try is just create a generic DataSeries then use a switch to decide what values to set it to that DataSeries through .Set()

So for every barupdate() I'll need to take the result of the indicator, and Set() it into a generic dataseries?

That seems like a safe way to do it...

Do I use an IDataSeries, or just a DataSeries?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Variables region

private DataSeries someSeries;

Initialize()

someSeries = new DataSeries(this);

OnBarUpdate() in some switch

someSeries.Set(Stochastics(7, 14, 3)[0]);
