Plotting bar mid points

[ayalc]

Hello,

I am just starting to learn to program in order to be able to program in NinjaScript.

I would like to create a simple indicator that plots three bar mid points
(High + Low)/2
(Open + Close)/2
(High + Low + Open + Close)/4

I managed to do so in TOS (it took three lines)

I followed the tutorials in the NT7 help file. However, there it looks like there are some syntax changes. The example given in NT7, is "Plot0.Set( .....)". this doesn't seem to work in NT8.

I believe my problem is with the syntax within OnBarUpdates()
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
//Add your custom indicator logic here.
HLmid = (High[0] + Low[0])/2;
OCmid = (Open[0] + Close[0])/2;
ALLmid = (High[0] + Low[0] + Open[0] + Close[0])/4;
}

The complete NinjaScript file is attached.

Thanks in advance!

ayalc,

Use "[0] =" instead ".Set( .....)"
for example: HLmid[0] = (High[0] + Low[0])/2;
instead: HLmid.Set (High[0] + Low[0])/2;

In your file, your syntax is wrong even for NT7.

However in NT8, you assign to DataSeries/Plots directly. "Set" is not just deprecated; it is invalid.

			HLmid[0]	= (High[0] + Low[0])/2;
			OCmid[0]	= (Open[0] + Close[0])/2;
			ALLmid[0]	= (High[0] + Low[0] + Open[0] + Close[0])/4;

Hi,

Thanks for your support!
Yes. i realized that the code I posted was wrong even for NT7. I tried many things and finally just posted a stripped down version.

Your solution worked. I now have my first working indicator!

I found the help file in NT7 very helpful as examples were given for coding basic indicators and strategies. Those tutorials have not been translated to the NT8 help guide. I highly recommend that you do so as they provide a practical guide rather than just a reference.

Thanks again!
