ADX indicator not providing public access to data

[RandyT]

I am working on a strategy that I would like to incorporate data from the ADX/DMI indicators. I notice that neither the the ADX or DM indicators provide this data in public variables. Before I start down the path of creating yet another ADX indicator, is there any reason why these data elements are not available for this purpose?

Hi,

You should have no problem accessing ADX values.

double value = ADX(20)[0];

If I understand correctly, I should be able to do something like:

ADX myADX = ADX(14);
DM myDM = DM(14);

if (myADX > myDM.DiPlus) { do something

??

My conclusion came from looking at variables exposed by DM. Seems that also exposing Tr would make this a bit cleaner.

I do not know if that will work. General practice for calling indicators is just to do ADX(14). To get the value you would do ADX(14)[0]. To get DM values you can use DM(14)[0], DM(14).DiPlus[0], or DM(14).DiMinus[0].

Hi Josh,

Tried

double myADX = ADX(20)[0];
print (myADX);

but got this error message :

"Operator '>=;Cannot be applied to operands of type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.ADX' and 'int'"

There is no single operator >= in my code ...

I am trying to print the current ADX value and also have tried

double myADX = ADX(20);
print (myADX);

but it doesn't work too.

double myADX = ADX(20)[0];
Print(myADX.ToString());

You are the man !. I have another problem , seems to be unable to access the ADX value


double myADX = ADX(14)[0];

if myADX >= 25 then
{
statement .....
}


got this error message again:

"Operator '>=;Cannot be applied to operands of type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.ADX' and 'int'"

Your myADX is a double, which you can't compare straight to an integer, try 25.00 in your code.

if(ADX(14)[0] >= 25)
{
//do your stuff
