No Plot but it compiles?

[Mindset]

Absolute beginner at this.
It all looks logical but I am not getting either plot.

First step when things don't plot is to check the errors log. You are likely running into the error addressed by this article: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3170

God I hate being a newbie!

thanks Josh - I expect to ask many more simple questions before I get the hang of this - but 3 minutes to solve a problem must be some sort of record :-)

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Hah. The record is around 30 seconds.

Respect


So you are hot on the line waiting for the next simple one!

How do I get the value of a line?

In easylanguage I can change the color of a plot quite simply but how do I do it in NinjaScript.
At the mmoment I am trying to use two plots to cope with a condition.

This is my current effort. Which doesn't work ( the commented out section)

Mindset,

We would appreciate it if you posted new questions in a new thread. This way we can help build up a knowledge base that other users can search through more easily.

To check against a plot you need to use the indexing. Your plot is named Value. To check its values you would do Value[0] for the value at the current bar of the FIRST DataSeries plot in your indicator. Please see the Help Guide for Value to better understand how it is used. You will also have difficulty with your code because EMA is a reserved word taken by another indicator. You cannot name your DataSeries EMA.

[Mindset]

Sure

Thanks for the heads up.
Will do that in future.
