arrow issues

[simpletrades]

Didn't work,
here's how the onbar update looks now.
if ( Close[0]< Open[0] && Close[0]<Low[1] && CurrentBar- saveBar > 3) //>1 removes 2nd arrow, >2removes next 2 repeat arrows >0 removes none
{
DrawArrowDown(" down" + CurrentBar, false, 0, High[0]+ (TickSize*dist), Color.White);
saveBar = CurrentBar; // save the current bar number
}

if (alertBool)PlaySound(@"C:\mysounds\Alert1.wav");
}
and Variables had this: private bool alertBool;

Properties is the same as the cs file I uploaded

Actually don't look yet.
I had the indicators set to False for Alert on Begin/End?
I'll wait for more bars first.

It just alerted, thanks

Hello simpletrades,

The example you show would play the sound on every bar. I recommend that you change as follows to only play sound when drawing an arrow:

if ( Close[0]< Open[0] && Close[0]<Low[1] && CurrentBar- saveBar > 3)
{
DrawArrowDown(" down" + CurrentBar, false, 0, High[0]+ (TickSize*dist), Color.White); 
saveBar = CurrentBar; // save the current bar number
if (alertBool)PlaySound(@"C:\mysounds\Alert1.wav");  // play sound when drawing arrow
}

Thanks i was testing the sounds on a 30 sec chart and that change makes a big difference,

[simpletrades]

when I want to block out multiple lines of code but not do // each line, isn't there a way to block out multiple lines at once?

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello simpletrades,

Thanks for your post.

You can use /* at the beginning of the section to block out and then */ to end.

thanks for all your help

How would I write a program just to recolor the 3rd bar of the same color on its close?
If Close[0]>Open[0] && Close[1]>Open[1] && Close[2]>Open[2] then what?

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello simpletrades,

Thanks for your post.

To change the color of a prior bar use BarColorSeries[int barsAgo] Please see: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...olorseries.htm

Alternatively if you only wish to set the color of the current bar, then you could use: BarColor. Please see: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG.../?barcolor.htm

Both references contain examples of use.

Will those scripts you helped with for the arrows and dots be ninja 8 compatible or will I need to rewrite parts of them if I switch?

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

All NT7 scripts would need to be rewritten for NT8.

[simpletrades]

With my limited skill will I have hard time redoing the 2 types?
Based on what you saw up to now
and can I unupgrade if I cant fix them?.

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello simpletrades,

Thanks for your reply.

NinjaTrader 8 will install separately from Ninjatrader7 you can actually have both on your computer and use one or the other without issue. NinjaTrader7 will be supported for quite some time so there is no mandate to upgrade until you are ready to.

As far as converting the code you have already created, the changes in your code are not that extensive so it certainly can be done and just requires patience and the helpguide.

I just tried creating Guppy on Ninja 8--it's just 12EMAs in one package.
I compiled it, no errors, can see it in Documents on my pc under bin/custom/indicators after the Ninja provided ones are listed but on a chart it is not in the indicator list.
It also appears in the tab for NinjaScript editor if I click on Indicators,
How do I add it to my chart?
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
