How to plot swing volume

[brucelevy]

Hi, I am using DrawText() and want to plot the volume for each swing high and swing low so that I may compare them.


Also second question, how would I go about saving a value. For example if the close crossed above a swing high, I would like to save the value of the volume so that I may call it later.

Would I accomplish this buy creating an Array? Could someone provide an example.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

You can find the syntax for accessing the Swing high and low here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...lightsub=swing

You could use the swing in a condition like a normal indicator and check that the current swing high has changed from the previous bars high as one approach. You could then access the Volume using Volume[0]

To store values, you could use variables. A simple example is the following:

private double myDouble;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    myDouble = Close[0];
}

If you want to store a value with a BarsAgo, you would instead need to use a DataSeries: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ries_class.htm

I look forward to being of further assistance.
