Place a dot on close that is > than moving average

[skiguy]

Can someone please provide code or sample of how to place a dot on the close of a bar that closes above say a moving average for example.

That is, conditionally place the dot on the close. Within the one indicator would be the code for average (for example) and the code for highlighting the bar

Ultimately I will refine the code to highlight closes "near" the indicator but for now I cannot find sample code that conditionally highlights a bar conditionally based on its relationship to an indicator.

NinjaScript has code for adding a dot in the help files it is....

DrawDot(string tag, bool autoScale, int barsAgo, double y, Color color)

so to draw a dot in the middle of the previous bar the code would look like this

DrawDot("NameOfYourDot", true, 1, (High[1] +Low[1]) / 2, Color.Blue);

The (High[1] +Low[1]) / 2 gives your the centre price point of the previous bar for the Dots location.

Then just put your condition in eg

if (my condition is met)
{
DrawDot("NameYourDot", true, 1, (High[1] +Low[1]) / 2, Color.Blue);
}

Hello skiguy,

Thank you for your post.

For the condition you can use if(Close[0] > SMA(period)[0]) for greater than. For cross over conditions you can take a look at the SampleMaCrossOver under Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy.

For DrawDot() use the method as described by marty087 at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...t7/drawdot.htm

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

For the the SampleMaCrossOver:

I think that you mean Strategy so it would be under Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy

Posting this clarification in case anyone looks at this thread at a later date and cannot find it under Indicators.
