No DrawDown

[Tzachi]

I try to plot a diamond+sound when jWillimas2 cross above and below the 20 and 80 lines.

The cross above works fine and plot the diamons and sound.
The cross below is not ploting a thing.

Please see attached and please if anyone can get it, please do.

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()

{
if (CrossAbove(jWilliams2(8,14,0),22,1))


{
// play sound
DrawDiamond("Diamond"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - 3*TickSize, Color.Black);
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Alert1.wav");
}


if (CrossBelow(jWilliams2(8,14,0),80,1))


{
// play sound
DrawDiamond("Diamond"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0] + 3*TickSize, Color.Black);
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Alert1.wav");
}

Hello Tzachi,

You are using the same tag for both drawing objects, so that should be the first item to change. Change one of the tags to "Diamond2"+CurrentBar, for example.

Ryan,

Thanks. I did the change of one of the diamonds to diamond2 but nothing changed re ploting the down side.

Did you compile the changes (Right click in editor > Compile) as well as reload NinjaScript (Right click on chart > Reload NinjaScript)?

If you've done this but are still not seeing the diamond, a simple print statement can be used to verify the condition is evaluating true. Check the print statement through the Tools > output window.

if (CrossBelow(jWilliams2(8,14,0),80,1))
{
// play sound
Print("DownSide Triggered");
DrawDiamond("Diamond2"+CurrentBar, 0, High[0] + 3*TickSize, Color.Black);
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Alert1.wav");
}

Any idea what can makes the "above" to plot but not the "below"?

[Tzachi]

Ryan,

Any other input to resolve this problem?

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Sorry - didn't reply because there was no feedback on my last suggestions. You compiled and reloaded, added print statement? Were you able to get confirmation that the condition returned true?

[Tzachi]

Can anyone help me find out what the problem with CrossDown plot as I posted on post #1?

Still cannot get it to plot the down diamond.

(print commend did not show anything on the output window)

Tzachi,

If the print statement didn't appear, then likely you have no bars that meet the condition. For the crossbelow condition to be true, the value of the indicator must be above 80 and then cross below it.

To debug this, print the value of the indicator to verify it's what you expect. Please see here for help using the debugging tools:
