Can I program custom indicators based on conditional statements into Ninja Trader?

[vern13]

I am currently on a free trial of Ninja w/CQG data feed. Is it possible to do the following:


1) Program a custom indicator that is similar to this: If the high of bar one is greater than the high of bar 2 and the close of bar 2 is greater than the mid of bar one.

( H[-1]>H[-2] AND C[-2]>MID[-1])

2) Enable a triangle to show up above the price bar on a sell and below on a buy to signal buying or selling pressure.....and have the triangle updating on a tick by tick basis as the condition is met and true or null and false......essentially the triangle would be flashing on and off as the tick data is updating live and effecting the relevance of the triangle.

Welcome to our forums here - yes this would be possible both to custom code in NinjaTrader's NinjaScript - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../tutorials.htm

If you're not a programmer, a range of consultants is available to professionally create this code for you -

sample language

I think if I had a sample then I could program my inicators in accordingly.

could anyone translate the following indicator into ninja script, where I would type it into the template........

if (current bar low <= low of 3 bars ago) and (close of current bar > close of 3 bars ago) then a purple triangle would show up at the bottom of the bar


in other platforms I have inputted something like this: if(L<=L[-3]) and [C>C[-3])

Basically, I am not versed in C# computer language. I am struggling with how to input statements containing "AND", IF, HIGH, LOW, OPEN, CLOSE.

I have been through the tutorials and can set up the indicator....just need help with the script end of things.

Thank you in advance

vern13, you could for example give this snippet a try in your custom indicator -

if (CurrentBar < 3) return;

if ((Low[0] <= Low[3]) && (Close[0] > Close[3]))
DrawDot("tag1" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Blue);

Good luck!

Thank you, I will give it a shot!
