HighestBar only return abr [0]

[ct]

Code is :

int highBarAgo = HighestBar(Jurik_DMX_custom(50), 100);

highBarAgo is only returning 0 or current bar every time, any ideas?

Thanks

ct, do you see the same for a standard system indicator series?

Do you have enough data loaded to satisfy the lookback period used?

Is the value perhaps rising for the lookback, so the current one is indeed the highest one?

10 days back on a 9 range chart on crude oil. Bar 0 is not the highest bar for 100 bars. I have it on a strategy but can put in in an indicator.

Any other ideas?

Let me try a standard indicator....

Changed to use DMI (non Jurik) and it worked. Aha!

Jurik indicator has CalculateOnBarClose = false;

Then try removing the COBC statememt completely, only set it from the calling indicator.

Standard RSI on my CL works fine, too.

[ct]

Removed cobc from the Jurik indicator . didn't help.

Tried putting it in an indicator same result.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Did you reapply the indicator completely fresh after the COBC change?

Any errors in the log showing up?

I do get "Default,Call to Jurik DLL failed" in the log but no more detail about the error so it's not happy about something. I added a "if (CurrentBar > 150)" check to see if it was due to not having enough data. I am only using a 50 but thought I would be safe and use 150 bars.

The indicator and setting is on the chart and looks right.

ct, for this error in the log please contact Jurik Research directly...perhaps you need a fresh reinstall of their toolset to iron out the call issue.

[ct]

ok, will send norm an email.

How to access Jurik DMX from another study

The indicator file "Jurik DMX custom" has an "Output Values" region with the following code:

[Browsable(false)] // do not remove
[XmlIgnore()] // do not remove
public DataSeries panel_range_min
{
get { return Values[0]; }
}

[Browsable(false)] // do not remove
[XmlIgnore()] // do not remove
public DataSeries panel_range_max
{
get { return Values[1]; }
}

[Browsable(false)] // do not remove
[XmlIgnore()] // do not remove
public DataSeries DMX_basic
{
get { return Values[2]; }
}

Note that DMX output is in the dataseries DMX_basic. To reference this series in another study, use the following ...

Jurik_DMX_custom(50).DMX_basic

where 50 is your input parameter to DMX. The series "panel_range_min" and "panel_range_max" are set to the constant values of +101 and -101, so by plotting them, the chart is stabilized and not resized on every bar. Applying the function HighestBar to either of these series will produce zero as output.
