implement a function on NT

[kuroro13]

I'd like to implement a function as it is possible to do so on TS.

Here is the code :
FONCTION T3.AVERAGE.SERIES


Inputs: Price(NumericSeries), Periods(NumericSimple);

Variables: b(0), b2(0), b3(0), e1(Price), e2(Price), e3(Price),
e4(Price), e5(Price), e6(Price), c1(0), c2(0), c3(0),
c4(0), f1(0), f2(0), Hot(0.7);

if Periods + 1 <> 0 then begin

if CurrentBar <= 1 then begin

b = Hot;
b2 = b * b;
b3 = b * b * b;
c1 = -b3;
c2 = 3 * b2 + 3 * b3;
c3 = -6 * b2 - 3 * b - 3 * b3;
c4 = 1 + 3 * b + b3 + 3 * b2;
f1 = 2 / (Periods + 1);
f2 = 1 - f1;

end else begin

e1 = f1 * Price + f2 * e1[1];
e2 = f1 * e1 + f2 * e2[1];
e3 = f1 * e2 + f2 * e3[1];
e4 = f1 * e3 + f2 * e4[1];
e5 = f1 * e4 + f2 * e5[1];
e6 = f1 * e5 + f2 * e6[1];

end;

T3Average.series = c1 * e6 + c2 * e5 + c3 * e4 + c4 * e3;

end;


the thing is I want to use this "function" in another ninjascript but as you can see "price" is a parameter.
I don't know how to proceed.

Can anyone help ?

I forgot to mention that my "price" formula would be set on my other Ninjascript as follow :

price.Set ((High[0]+Low[0]+Close[0])/3);
Value1.Set( 2 * t3average.series(price, p1));
Value2.Set( t3average.series(price, p2));
Value3 = (t3average.series((Value1 - Value2), p3));

You need to create this as an indicator in NinjaTrader. Then you can use it as you would an indicator and pass in any input series you wish.

[kuroro13]

but how can I code this line :

e1 = f1 * Price + f2 * e1[1];

if I don't declare this variable, I cannot compile my code

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Instead of using "Price" use our Typical series which is what you are looking for.

[kuroro13]

this won't work because of this line :

Value3 = (t3average.series((Value1 - Value2), p3));

here price = Value1-Value2

so "price" must stay a parameter on the first ninjascript in order to return the correct calculation

I don't know if you understand.

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Sure I understand.

Then you have to create a DataSeries object to store the calculation of value1 - value2.

See this reference sample - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=7299

Here is some pseudo code based on what you provided:

Value1.Set( 2 * t3average.series(Typical, p1));
Value2.Set( t3average.series(Typical, p2));
price.Set(Value1[0] - Value2[0]);
Value3 = (t3average.series(price, p3));

[kuroro13]

Well, I think you misunderstood me.

Let me be clear.

I want to create an indicator that use this T3.average.series function I described below.

Suppose that I do as you told me to :

when NT make the calculation and follow the script, then it will go to the T3.average.series script and will come to this line of the code :

e1 = f1 * Price + f2 * e1[1];

on this first Ninjascript, Price is a parameter and not defined. If I defined it on the second Ninjascript, will it replace it by the typical price or anything else alone ?

How should I deal with it on the first script ? just declare it as a dataseries and set no value ?

am I clear ?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Yes you are clear.

Create an indicator for this function.

By default, you will use the property "Input" which refers to the data series passed into the indicator method.

The indicator method will look something like:

myIndicator(DataSeries input, int Periods)

then in your second script you would call:

myIndicator(Typical, PeriodsValue)

Take a look at the SMA indicator source to get an idea of how Input is used.
