Counting consecutive bars in oversold zone

[kaywai]

Hi, Is it possible to have ninjatrader count how many consecutive bars an instrument has spent in the oversold zone? How do I go about getting ninjatrader to do the counting?

kaywai, to increment a variable in C#, you just have to do: variable++;

It is definitely possible for NinjaTrader to count how many bars an instrument is oversold. This pseudo-code should outline how:

OnBarUpdate()
{
         if (oversold)
                 oversoldCounter++;
         else // not oversold anymore
                 oversoldCounter = 0;
}

Hi Austin, The attached chart shows the oscillator as it currently stands. What I am trying to do is to shade an area in the overbought/oversold if the oscillator remains consecutively in overbought/oversold for more than 8 bars.

kaywai, unfortunately we don't provide custom programming services. We can assist you and point you in the right direction but we can't write a complete indicator. Thanks for understanding.
