Find Max ammounts bars when close is above 10 ema line

[wallsteetking]

Hello Ninjatrader Team,

how can I tell Ninjatrader ( in indicator mode) to tell me what was the Max amount of bars back when the close was higher than the 10 EMA line starting from today going backwards.


I found this formula online but it not exactly correct.

int NumBullishCandle = CountIf(delegate {return Close[0] > EMA(10)[0];}, 20);
Plot0.Set(NumBullishCandle);

This formula starts to subtract when it fails this criteria. Also it maxes out at 20 but I needed it in infinite ammount..

Also its going to be important to have it in Plot mode. Not print.

Thank you

Hello Wallsteetking,

Thank you for your post.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The CountIf() should maintain the same usage throughout the code.

If you want to make it an infinite amount you can use CurrentBar in place of 20, however I would not recommend this unless you plan on ignoring the historical in the beginning, Otherwise, it will cause huge delays and lag in the chart.

My recommendation instead would be to check when the Close is higher than the EMA(10) and then store a counter value

if(Close[0] > EMA(10)[0])
counter++;

let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I am not quite sure how to implement this.
Is this correct....

if (Close[0] > EMA(10)[0])
			
				{	Counter++;
					Plot0.Set(Counter++);
				}

when I do this I get (see picture) . What I need it to do is if the condition is not met. than start count again from zero.

wallsteetking, would suggest doing the plot outside the condition then resetting the count to 0 if you see a close below the EMA simply.

if (Close[0] > EMA(10)[0])
Counter++;
else
Counter = 0;

Plot0.Set(Counter);

Thank you NinjaTrader_Bertrand this is what i was looking for.

You mean

You are right koganam, thanks for the spot.
