zig zag indicator

[brettalex]

Hey Ninja-

Is there a way for the zig zag to count and plot the ticks for each swing on the chart?

Hello brettalex,

Thank you for your post.

This is possible, you would need to implement a counter for the ticks into the ZigZag indicator and create a new plot for this item.

You can view an example of a tick counter by going to the NinjaTrader Control Center > Tools > Edit NinjaScript > TickCounter > OK.

You can also search our User Submitted Indicators to see if another user has developed such an indicator: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ks.php?catid=4

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello brettalex,

This thread was not properly responded to.

The following is a link to a guide on our Support Forum for Excel by one of our users: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...407#post212407

I hope this is what you were looking for if you have not come across this already.

NT had to identify that method somehow, and instead of saying "Export to spreadsheet", identified the dominant spreadsheet, as they actually are exporting to xls format. What that means for us OpenOffice users is that if you try to "Export to Excel", it will, in fact, export to OpenOffice, because OpenOffice is the program that is registered in Windows to handle xls files.

ZigZag Plot

Is there a way to change ZigZag line to plot a Dot at Highs/Lows instead of lines??

Thank You

Hello sunfirerv,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

You will need to create a new copy of the ZigZag before you can edit it. To do this go to the NinjaTrader Control Center > Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator > ZigZag > OK > when the NinjaScript Editor loads right click and select Save As... > give the ZigZag a new name > then Save.

Once the above is complete you will need familiarize yourself with custom plots and overriding the Plot method. For an example of this please go to the NinjaTrader Control Center > Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator > CustomPlotSample > OK.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello Ben,

Thanks for that information.

archive may contain dupicate method names

The issue is usually one of two things:

1. There is a classname or namespace in the file you are importing that is already used in another indicator that is already imported.
2. This indicator relies on another indicator that needs to be imported first.

I would like to set up a remote support session to assist you with this.
