Woodie Pivots in a strategy

[mikeylikesit33]

I'm unable to get Woodie Pivot values into my strategy. Straight from the NJ8 documentation, it chokes during compile with the error
"the best overload mthod for NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategy.WoodiesPivots... has some invalid arguments"

Then it complains about Argument 1. When I take that out, it compiles but the values are all 0.

From the NJ8 documentation for Woodies Pivots usage

// Prints the current pivot point value
double value = WoodiesPivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).PP[0];
Print("The current Woodies Pivots' pivot value is " + value);

// Prints the current S2 pivot value
double value = WoodiesPivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).S2[0];
Print("The current Woodies Pivots' S2 pivot value is " + value);

Hello mikeylikesit33,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

It appears the beta documentation has not been updated and we will correct that.

In the meantime, in the Ninjatrader IDE, the intelliprompt shows only two parameters, one is HLCCalculationModeWoodie and the other is the integer length.

Please try:

double test2 = WoodiesPivots (HLCCalculationModeWoodie.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).PP[0];
Print("The current Woodies Pivots' PP pivot value is " + test2);

double test3 = WoodiesPivots (HLCCalculationModeWoodie.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).S1[0];
Print("The current Woodies Pivots' S1 pivot value is " + test3);

double test4 = WoodiesPivots (HLCCalculationModeWoodie.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).R1[0];
Print("The current Woodies Pivots' R1 pivot value is " + test4);

double test5 = WoodiesPivots (HLCCalculationModeWoodie.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).S2[0];
Print("The current Woodies Pivots' S2 pivot value is " + test5);

double test6 = WoodiesPivots (HLCCalculationModeWoodie.CalcFromIntradayData, 20).R2[0];
Print("The current Woodies Pivots' R2  pivot value is " + test6);

Thanks for your participation in the beta program.

Right, but as I said, when I take out the PivotRange... hence just using the two you indicate... the Print command shows all pivots as zero (0).

So it seems they aren't working.

Hello mikeylikesit33,

Thanks for your reply.

I tested the example shown in my post on 1 minute data and it printed the Woodies pivots shown on the chart attached. Please note that the HLCCalculationMode is changed to HLCCalculationModeWoodie.
