Clear Method Indicator

[StockJock]

Hi StockJock

this is the indicator of Ron Black's Clear Method from the "Technical Analysis of Stocks & Comodities" magazine, September 2010, the one than you talk on your first message...

This is a good indicator for buy and sell signals on the proper time frame, because it looks like a zero lag indicator. I'm just learning NJ7's C# language to develop strategies. Your code has some potential. I hope you can get it to work.

I didn't know that the indicator has a function that you could call from a strategy when conditions change. If I knew C#, I would try to reference the swing conditions. What I mean is when the condition for uptrend changes to the condition for a down trend (or vice versa). Do you see anything like that in the code?

I'm trying to read the C# of the indicator for buy and sell conditions and I think it would be something like this.

 
// Selling Short condition
if (ShortTermSwings().Trend[0] == -1  && ShortTermSwings().Trend[1] == 1)
{
ExitShort(DefaultQuantity, "Vente");
SetProfitTarget("Vente", CalculationMode.Ticks, 42*TickSize);
}
//  *********************************
// Buying To Cover condition
if (ShortTermSwings().Trend[0] == 1  && ShortTermSwings().Trend[1] == -1)
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "Achat");
SetProfitTarget("Achat", CalculationMode.Ticks, 42*TickSize);
}

If you complete the stategy code, please share it with me. Thanks.

Thomas,

One thing I just noticed here in your code :

SetProfitTarget("Vente", CalculationMode.Ticks, 42*TickSize);

The TickSize multiplication here isn't needed. Are you still experiencing this issue?

Hi Adam

you're right, i don't need to include "TickSize" on my script

Hi StockJock

i have this code working well

// Condition Buy
if (ShortTermSwings().Trend[0] > ShortTermSwings().Trend[1])
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "Achat");
SetProfitTarget("Achat", CalculationMode.Ticks, 42);
}
// Condition Sell
if (ShortTermSwings().Trend[0] < ShortTermSwings().Trend[1])
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity,"Vente");
SetProfitTarget("Vente", CalculationMode.Ticks, 42);

}

Hi StockJock
i have this code working well

I'm glad to hear that you got it to work. I've been trying to learn C# and I was looking for a C# programmer's discussion in a Yahoo Group or a Google Group, but I'm confused between C# and C#.net. Is there a difference?

Also, if you would, tell me how I place this into NinjaTrader to test it. Thanks much.

In the article that Ron Black's Clear Method indicator is referenced, Raymond Deux &amp; Art Runelis wrote: "This indicator is for NinjaTrader version 7 or greater...." But when I try to import on my NT 8 I get Error msg: "Selected file was made from an older, incompatible version of NT or is not a NinjaScript archive" Am I overlooking something or can Support or anyone confirm it is in fact not compatible with NT 8? Thank you, Mine is Version 8.0.27.1 64bit

Hello hoot44,

Thanks for your note.

The indicator you mentioned is only supported for use with NinjaTrader 7, not NinjaTrader 8.

This could be seen by downloading the .ZIP file and looking at the Info.xml file which shows the script is for NinjaTrader 7.

There are no versions of this script supported for NinjaTrader 8. You could consider converting the script to be used with NinjaTrader 8 if you wish. If you would like to convert the script, please let me know and I will provide you with some direction to get you started.

Let me know if I may assist further.
