NT7 Indicator Script Troubleshooting - Camarilla Pivots

[Lancer]

I downloaded the attached NT7 Camarilla Pivots script from Ninja file sharing, corrected a few things, but it is still not working properly. If the prior day High/Low/Close values are entered manually (UserDefinedValues parameter selected), it plots resulting pivot values correctly, but if CalcFromIntradayData or DailyBars is selected, it is not picking up the prior day H/L/C values as it should be. Testing on a standard bar chart, 15 min intraday timeframe. Any help in identifying the issue is much appreciated! Thanks!

Hello Lancer,

Thanks for your post.

If the indicator is not behaving as expected then it is necessary to add debugging prints to the script to understand how the logic is evaluating.

In the script, add prints to the script that print out all the values being used for calculations, then run the script and compare values in the Output window to see how your logic is behaving. It is very helpful to include labels and operators in the print to understand what is being compared in the condition sets.

Output from prints will appear in the NinjaScript Output window.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to use prints to understand behavior.

Thanks Brandon. The issue isn't what the HLC values are, it's that the script is not picking up the prior day HLC values.

Hello Lancer,

Thanks for your notes.

Have you added debugging prints to the indicator script to understand exactly how the plots are being calculated in the script?

When a NinjaScript is not behaving as expected it is necessary to identify the line(s) of code causing the unexpected behavior to occur. This is done by taking debugging steps to print out all the values the script is using for calculations to see how those calculations are evaluating.

Add prints to the script that print out all the values used in the logic to calculate the plots to see how that code is evaluating.

Prints will appear in a Tools > Output window.

Here is a forum thread demonstrating how to use prints to identify how a script's logic is behaving: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...121#post791121

Further, if you want to access prior day HLC values, you could consider using the PriorDayOHLC() system indicator method to do so.

Brandon, the output values are not important right now, and do not provide an answer to the question. It's the code structure in the script that is supposed to be obtaining prior day H/L/C values with CalcFromIntradayData and DailyBars that I'm asking about. I appreciate your efforts, but I know NT staff can't assist with this. Thanks.

Hello Lancer,

Thanks for your notes.

Debugging prints should be added to the script to determine exactly how that section of code is calculating the prior day HLC values with CalcFromIntradayData and DailyBars. This would allow you to review the prints to see how those values are evaluating in that section of code and make any needed modifications so the the correct values are calculated.
