no result showing

[peterhxu7]

tring to build a strategy based on Bill William's indicator called Fractal. the are two plots in this indicator, plot1 indicates up fractal, the second one indicates down fractal.
what's wrong with my code
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if (Current[0] > Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& High[1] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& Low[1] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& High[2] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& Low[2] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& High[3] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& Low[3] < Fractals().Plot1[0])
{
EnterLongStopLimit(DefaultQuantity, 0, 0, "");
}

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I wouldn't be sure from just the image but if there is no result, it is very likely the condition is not becoming true.

Have you tried to Print the values you are using to see if the condition can become true on the bars you expect?

If not, I would suggest trying to print something like the following:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
   Print("Time: " + Time[0] + " " + Current[0] + " > " +  Fractals().Plot1[0]);

   if (Current[0] > Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& High[1] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& Low[1] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& High[2] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& Low[2] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& High[3] < Fractals().Plot1[0]
&& Low[3] < Fractals().Plot1[0])
{
EnterLongStopLimit(DefaultQuantity, 0, 0, "");
}

}

I only included one part of your condition in the print to keep this short, but you could add in each of the variables used in the condition to Print for each bar to know if the condition should be true or not. This is the first step I would suggest in locating the reason.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

I am unable to see the plot names from what you have posted, but if this is the same indicator as: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...3&postcount=36

The plot names would be plot0 and plot1.

What was the result of Printing the values you use in the condition, were you able to see the values being used?

I look forward to being of further assistance.
