Histo

[Mike Winfrey]

I want to write an indicator where the histogram oscillates around the 50 as opposed to 0. So, if the value > 50 histo plots from the 50 to the value above 50 and if value < 50 the histo plots from the 50 to the value below 50 . This is very easy to do when the values oscillate around 0 but can't figure out how to do this using the 50 instead.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your post.

The tutorial below will help with using plot thresholds.

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/Overview25.html

Essentially you will define two plots and the thresholds (Min and Max) for drawing them.

Excerpt from the tutorial, modified to value 50:
Plots[0].Min = 50;
This statement says, in the collection of Plot objects, take the first one (Plots[0]) and set its minimum value to 50. This means any value below 50 will not display.
Plots[1].Max = 50;
This statement says, in the collection of Plot objects, take the second one (Plots[1]) and set its maximum value to 50. This means any value above 50 will not display.

Like I said in my earlier post, it's easy when the plot oscillates around 0. The example you provided is one that does just that. I want it to oscillate around 50. Those min and max values don't seem to fix my problem. Every histogram plots from 0 to the value not from 50 to the value.

Mike，

This is unfortunately not possible. Values will be based off from zero. What you could try is to normalize the plot values around zero?

Thanks Josh...I've done just that and it works but isn't preferable. Just one of those happy to glad kind of differences.

Thanks again,
Mike
