Gann HiLo Activator, is it possible?

[freeka]

Hi all

I am looking to move over from Metatrader to Ninja Trader in the forthcoming week as my broker supports this application.

However, one of the indicators I use in my strategy is the Gann HiLo Activator.

I can post the mql4 code if need be but my question originally was if it is possible to code the same as a custom indicator in Ninja Trader?

Any pointers would be most welcome.

I am not familiar with this indicator but what I can say is that anyting can be programmed in NinjaScript. You can check our NinjaScript File Sharing section to see if this indicator already exists, if not please post the MQL4 code so everyone can take a look.

Here is the indicator in MQL4

Hi there

Many thanks for your reply. It is comforting to know that I will not lose out on the migration over to Ninja trader.

Here is the code:

#property indicator_buffers 3

#property indicator_color1 Blue
#property indicator_color2 Red

I will pass this on to one of our techs who have MT experience to see if this is something he could tackle as a learning experiment.

how can I find the indicator in the file sharing section. I looked under the name of gann, nothing were there ? what should i do ? thanks

You can review the files shared in the 'Indicators' section - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...splay.php?f=37

Orginal version has loockback set to 10 bars before, but in mt4 version on indicator you can set this whatever you like - 4, 5, 15 bars back etc. Can you add that function to this Gann indicator, or can you tell me which line in code I need to change to get indi set to check 5 bars back?

[eDanny]

The simple answer is look in the Variables section for this line:

private int r = 10;

and change the 10 to 5 and compile. To add the option in the parameters settings takes a little more work.

So simple - thank you .
