Somebody can write it for me?

kabott, do you get any error messages in the NT log tab when the indicator fails to display?

hi, i been trying to call a supetrend from inside an other indicator, i created a new plot called "MarketAnalizer" that goes 1 if its up or -1 if its down (see image) looks like its working fine, tho wen i try to call it from the other indicator this one just goes empty, it dissapears, can someone gave me hand with this? ill appreciate it.


this is my "marketanalizer" code (looks like its working fine):



this is how i call the supertrend:


protected override void Initialize()
{

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "EM"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "LT"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Black"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "SPTrend"));
Overlay = false;

}


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 50)return;



double T3O = T3(Open,4,3,0.7)[0];
double T3C = T3(Close,4,3,0.7)[0];
double ST = SuperTrend_Regular (Close,50, 7).MarketAnalyzerTrend[0];

SPTrend.Set(0);
EM.Set(center);
LT.Set(center);
Black.Set(center);





if (T3O >= T3C)
PlotColors[1][0]=cDown;
else
PlotColors[1][0]=cUp;


if (T3O >= T3C && Close[0] < Open[0])
PlotColors[0][0]=cDown;
else if (T3O >= T3C && Close[0] > Open[0])
PlotColors[0][0]=colorDis;
else if (T3O <= T3C && Close[0] > Open[0])
PlotColors[0][0]=cUp;
else if (T3O <= T3C && Close[0] < Open[0])
PlotColors[0][0]=colorDis;


if ( ST > 0)
PlotColors[2][0]=cUp;
else if ( ST < 0)
PlotColors[2][0]=cDown;


}


if i remove the Supetrend calling part the rest of the plots re-appear and seems to work fine again. heelppppp!

[kabott]

its part of a strategy yep, ok i think i got an idea, thanks

You would have to find some way of knowing which plot was active and always use that one. You could make another ( dummy ) plot within SuperTrend and access that.

But are you using this in a strategy, do you want it for a trailing stop? If so. there is an easier way.

[kabott]

aa i see, how do i set the same plot to both stages? how do i build the condition to test which one is "true", my c sharp is very basic :P

[DaveS]

Ah right, think I know the one then.
The SuperTrend line is actualy made from two different plots, one Red one Green. You need to do something like -

double STUp = SuperTrend(14, 1.4, false).UpTrend[0];
and
double STDown = SuperTrend(14, 1.4, false).DownTrend[0];

to get both. The .Uptrend and .Downtrend give you access to the public plots that you can find in the 'Properties' section, near the bottom of the code.

Parameters are length, multiplier, show arrows?

If you want to use this as a trailing stop there is an easier way.

[kabott]

hi Dave, i dont remember, i think i got it from Big Mike's , ill share it if you need it. let me kno.

(i added the "_Regular" cause i tweaked it a lil bit but it was just a normal supertrend , nothing fancy)

[DaveS]

Hi kabbott
Been doing some stuff with supertrend so I was going to take a look at this. Where did you find the Supertrend_Regular indicator?

[kabott]

Calling ST from an other indie

Hi all, i been trying to call the supertrend from a script:


double ST = SuperTrend_Regular(Close, 50, 7)[0];

ST1.Set(ST);

but seems i only get "half" of the indicator, the UP trend part,whats the way to properly call this indi?

[marcow]

did you also check the behaviour with the different types of MovingAverageType, like HMA,SMA,EMA ? because these will have a great impact on the switching of TSSupertrend.

I'm not sure, but it is possible that there are core-logic code differences between the old and new supertrend, which could also explain these differences...

Marco

[futuros]

Thanks for your reply.

I changed the multiplier to a very low number but still doesn't get any closer to my old supertrend.

any other suggestions?

thanks

[marcow]

Alan,

Marco, how do you accelerate the signals w/your supertrend? what parameters would you change?

first of all, it's not my SuperTrend, credits go to all the contributors at the beginning of this thread.....;

What SuperTrend for NT6.5 are you referring to ? Is it SuperTrend.cs ?
If you compare SuperTrend and TSSuperTrend, you will find that TSSuperTrend (the version posted in post #346) has an additional setting for MovingAverageType in the indicator parameters. That's probably why you see a difference between these 2 versions.

I recommend you to test the different MovingAverageType settings, and look for a match with the older SuperTrend.
To make TSSSuperTrend switch faster, lower the Multiplier setting in the indicator parameters.
