Do I need some sort of "IF" statement to draw the text?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Just put it in the same place you have the DrawArrowUp(). Remember to add the { } for your current if-statement.

if (....)
{
    DrawArrowUp(...);
    DrawText(...);
}

I did this but it does not work:

// if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))
if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+5* TickSize, Color.Red);
DrawText("MyText", "Sell", 0, High[0] + 6 * TickSize, Color.Red);
// if (CrossAbove(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))
if (CrossAbove(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
DrawArrowUp("MyArrowUp"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] -5* TickSize, Color.Green);
DrawText("MyText", "Buy", 0, Low[0] - 6 * TickSize, Color.Green);

I did this but it does not work:

you missed what support just told you, put in the bracket for each of the IF statement since you want to do 2 things following the IF statement.

here we go, this one is crossing zero line signal

// if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))
{
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+2* TickSize, Color.Red);
DrawText("MyText"+CurrentBar, "Sell", 0, High[0] + 6 * TickSize, Color.Red);
}

// if (CrossAbove(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
if (CrossAbove(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))
{
DrawArrowUp("MyArrowUp"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] -2* TickSize, Color.Orange);
DrawText("MyText"+CurrentBar, "Buy", 0, Low[0] - 6 * TickSize, Color.Green);
}

The DrawArrows are small and similar to some of my other indicators and are hard to see.

Is there any way to modify the DrawArrow parameters to make the arrow larger?

rtj4201,

Unfortunately not.

replace your code with this, remember I am using cross zero line not cross signal line;

// if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))
{
DrawArrowDown("MyArrowDown"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0]+2* TickSize, Color.Red);
// DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString(), 0, High[1] + 10 * TickSize, Color.Red);
// DrawText("MyText"+CurrentBar, true,"Sell", 0, High[0] + 12 * TickSize, Color.Red,pfont);
DrawText("V"+CurrentBar, true, sellText, 0, High[0] + 8 * TickSize, yPixels, sColor, pfont,
StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 10) ;
}

//if (CrossAbove(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
if (CrossAbove(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))
{
DrawArrowUp("MyArrowUp"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] -2* TickSize, Color.Orange);
// DrawText("MyText"+CurrentBar, "Buy", 0, Low[0] - 6 * TickSize, Color.Green);
DrawText("V"+CurrentBar, true, buyText, 0, Low[0] - 10 * TickSize, yPixels, bColor, pfont,
StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 10) ;

}

also go to REGIONAL variables section, add this:

private string sellText = @"SELL";
private Font pfont = new Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Point);
private Color sColor = Color.Red;
private string buyText = @"BUY";
private Color bColor = Color.Green;
private int yPixels = 10;

I want the arrow plot when the ma line crosses the signal line. How would that be coded?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Please take a look at nkhoi's code. It already does that.

[nkhoi]

I want the arrow plot when the ma line crosses the signal line. How would that be coded?

my code;
// if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))

.....


change to:

if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Signal, 1))
// if (CrossBelow(TRIX(period, signalPeriod).Default, 0,1))

.....



see the different?

[rtj4201]

I would like to plot the TRIX indicator on the price chart; however, it is normalized and the scale would not work. Is it possible to just show the
actual triple average and the signal line on the price chart without the normalized part?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

rtj4201,

Unfortunately not. Such a change would require you to recode the indicator.

[rtj4201]

So how would i recode the indicator?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

rtj4201,

You need to open up the indicator code and go through it yourself. Unfortunately we just do not have enough bandwidth to step you through actually modifying it.

As a hint, trying to change something like this requires you to completely change up the math logic.
