Problem of KeltnerChannel() with myDataSeries as input.

[jdz1247]

Dear Technical support,

I have trouble to use myDataSeries as input for KeltnerChannel() indicator. By cheking the indicator source code, it seems to me that I need to provide High[] and Low[] data in the input to generate diff value. My questions are,

1) How can I make myDataSeries identical as BarsArray[]? If I use myDataSeries as is, I can not get upperband and lower band values. They are always the same as middle values. I attach my test code and test results.

2)Why KeltnerChannel() only use Typical (seems hardcoded internally) as input?

Please help.

jdz1247, your findings are correct and that's on our list to look into currently - in the meantime can you try using this attached custom Keltner method and indicator that would allow using custom series as input?

Hello,

Manually move the file to the My Documents->NinjaTrader 7->bin->custom->indicator folder and then compile all the indicators so that it is added in the NT Control Center->Edit NinjaScript->Edit Indicator->Find The new indicator and open it->then right click on the text editor->compile.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Bertrand, Is that true that the custom Keltner only take care of Typical as input issue? That means that I still can not use myDataSeries to get upper band and lower band values with you custom KeltnerCannel.
