Want to modify bw fractal indicator

[Gregory Arkadin]

The bwfractal indicator for NT 7 puts a number on the chart at the fractal point which takes up to much space on the chart. I would like to replace that with a dot or diamond, where/how would I change that in the code?

Change the DrawText methods to DrawDot or DrawDiamond

For instance change

	DrawText("High"+barcounter.ToString(), true, High[period].ToString(".0000"), period, High[period], 10, color, textFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

To this:

DrawDot("High"+barcounter.ToString(), true, period, High[period], color);

do you mean replace that and insert just with this: DrawDot("High"+barcounter.ToString(), true, period, High[period], color);

and cut off the rest of the original code?

In a sense - the two methods have a different number of arguments to compile. It's not exactly cutting off the rest of the code, but you are eliminating the arguments that are not needed in the DrawDot method.

well I did that and saved the changes but it did not reflect in chart/is there another way to save the changed code?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

After you make the changes, make sure you have right clicked on the code and select "Compile".

Once compiled, please right click on the chart with the indicator and select 'reload NinjaScript'

I did that but "compile" does not appear...

Is there another way to compile ?

Hi,

Taking a step back - are you editing this from within NinjaTrader?

You will need to make these changes under Tools--> Edit NinjaScript--> Indicator

Please review our Help Guide article on the NinjaScript editor for more information:

I don't have the edit script option Is there a way you could edit/compile the change and re upload it the reply?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Please try importing this and let me know if that does not do the trick.

yes it works , but could you reduce the dot size ..3/4 the size of the current one?
Thanks again I appreciate ir

Can't reduce in the indicator itself

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

The dots are dynamically drawn based off the scale of the chart.

In the program you can reduce the lettering, wish there was a way to use perhaps another symbol or even letter that could be modified in size

This indicator used to use a Wingdings symbol which was identical to the original BW Fractal indicator. I'd also like to see the original restored. I'm going to go through some scripting videos so I can try to figure this stuff out for myself. In the mean time....if anyone can assist that would be great!

My next goal is to plot the BW Wiseman signals.

[bctrader]

Here is BwFractals with Diamonds. I think getting the original symbol is a matter of using DrawText and plugging in the wingdings font.
