Rising & Falling ADX issue

[CaptainAmericaXX]

Hello,
I'm trying to identify a previous bar that the ADX was Rising or Falling. My idea was this:
if (Rising(ADX(10)[1]) == true
&& Falling(ADX(10)[0]) == true),
but of course I'm getting an error that I can't "convert from 'double' to 'NinjaTrader.Data.IDataSeries'".
Might there be another way around this issue?

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

Take the [0] and [1] off there and it should compile now.

When you add the [] this returns a double. If you leave them off this is a data series object.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that will compile, but will it do anything? I want check to see if the previous bar was rising and if the current bar is falling.

Hello,

No this would not work for this as this works in realtime only.

Therefor If I was going to do this I would just program it manually.

Close[2] < Close[1] &&.//Rising of the last bar
Close[0] > Close [1 ] //Falling of the current bar

Good suggestion, but with the ADX indy the Closes can be >or< than the previous without the ADX rising or falling. I need to identify the ADX rising or falling in each bar. I can easily color a bar to show that, but I can't use bar coloring in a strategy.

Well of coarse you would want to substitute my example of close with your indicator of choice.

ADX(10)[2} < ADX(10)[1] etc. etc.

That did it. Thanks so much!
