Adding Indicator to Strategy

[[email protected]]

I am attempting to add the ParabolicSAR to my strategy.
I am able to Add() the indicator and have it plot to my chart. The problem is that I have been unable to find a way to change the plot attributes for the indicator. I would like to change the color and name associated with it.

Below is the Code that I am using.
protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
ParabolicSAR(0.02, 0.2, 0.02).Plots[0].Name = "ParSAR";
ParabolicSAR(0.02, 0.2, 0.02).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;
Add(ParabolicSAR(0.02, 0.2, 0.02));
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
// Working Code
}

publicoverridestring ToString()
{
return" ";
}

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Larry.

Larry, which NinjaTrader version are you running? You can check under Help > About - I tested your code with the fixed Parabolic version and it does work as expected -

 
protected override void Initialize()
{
ParabolicSARFixed(0.02, 0.2, 0.02).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;
Add(ParabolicSARFixed(0.02, 0.2, 0.02));
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

.NET Version: 2.0.50727.3082

Ninja Trader Version: 6.5.1000.11

===========

Perhaps my setups for the chart and strategy are not set properly.

Thanks.

Larry, these are the correct versions -did you gave my posted snippet a try?

My version of NinjaTrader does not recognize "ParabolicSARFixed()"

Interestingly ... The price Marker paints the correct color the value plots do not.

Larry,

Please disregard the "fixed" part and use the regular ParabolicSAR(). The price markers should show the same value as the plot on the last bar.

Hi Josh,

Yes the ParSAR is correctly plotting the values.
I was attempting to change the attributes of the plot .. i.e. the color, the name that displays on the chart - such that I could display different names for the different setups in different colors.

I can get the price marker to the new color of Blue ... The parSAR dots are still the deualt Orange. I wanted to be able to identify my plots from the default indicator color.

Larry,

Will look into it.

Larry,

Could be a bug. Thank you for reporting. In the meantime, you can bring up the indicators dialogue and then close it to get it to show up as blue.

Yes - that is a work around. Bringing the indicator window active and applying to the chart will change the color to that of my Strategy.

Thanks for your help. Looking forward to the upcomming fix.

Thanks for reporting this one in Larry, it should be fixed in NinjaTrader 7
