How do i anchor a starting point?

[kaywai]

Hi All,

I'm trying to "anchor" a starting point, for example, if CurrentBar == o, StartingPoint = Close[0].

Thereafter i plan connect this point with a pivot point.

Can someone help me please?

Regards

Best you post a chart and draw a few lines explaining what you wish to do. There are many ways of drawing lines or indicators based on a reference point. A floor pivot, an opening range or an anchored VWAP are all indicators that are anchored in one way or another.

Hello kaywai,

Thank you for your post.

Are you trying to store the price at bar 0? If so, create a double and store the value in that double. Then use the double for your start y value of your drawing object.

Hi All,

The starting point is actually the first pivot. I need to anchor it. The attached chart shows multiple instances of what I'm trying to achieve. Any help is much appreciated.

Kay, the storing would happen as your condition to do so is seen (pivot swing for example found). You could then store for example the price point and barnumber via variables or some more advanced object such as a dictionary / list. Unless the condition is seen again > the values would be held in your variables then.

NinjaTrader comes with a zigzag indicator. You could have look at the code - although I feel that the code is somewhat cumbersome.
