Where to start if I want to create a strategy on a trading set-up?

Hi Ryan

Great to learn that my syntax is in good order. Thank you. I am going to re-write my Boolseries indicator/strategy (a simpler version) and see if I am able to make them functional before adapting them to the advanced one I want. You will hear from me.

Continue enjoying your day.

Good afternoon

My simple BoolSeries indicators worked. No luck when adapting it to a MTF one (both strategy and indicator version). Not sure why my EZZBoolSeries indicator will trigger the following error message:

Note: I compiled EZZBoolSeries indicator successfully.

I must have missed something! Appreciate your tips. Thank you.

I'm not sure why you have that compile error. If you can post the indicator file EZZBoolSeries, we can take a look at how it may be referenced in a strategy.

Hi Ryan

Thanks for your kind offer reviewing my BoolSeries indicator. I am going to trim down the script further and see if I may resolve the "Type" error issue. Or else may I email the BoolSeries indicator to your attention via support(dot)ninjatrader(dot)com? I am unable to share it in a public forum

Thanks in advance. Have a great day/relaxing weekend.

belecona, sounds good please let us know how it goes - if you're not making progress we can give your indicator a run here as well of course.

I'm back to modify an existing MA indicator and simply want to draw a line when price breaks above/below the Slow MA. Compiled the revised indicator successfully though it has not plotting any lines lol.

My code based on an indicator with DrawLine:
//Draw Lines
if (drawlines)
DrawLine("line"+CurrentBar, false, 4, SMA(7)[0]+(1*TickSize),0,SMA(7)[0]+(1*TickSize),Color.Lime.DashStyle.Solid,2);

Error message on the Log tab:
Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'ABC' on bar 0: ABC.DrawLine: startBarsAgo out of valid range 0 through 0, was 4.

Appreciate tips to fix it please. Thank you.

belecona, please ensure you have the needed check for enough bars at the beginning of the chart in place, here for a min of 4.

Hi Bertrand

Thanks for your tips. It's plotting lines now after adding

if (CurrentBar<5) return;

Have a nice weekend.

Good afternoon

I have a quick question please. When some predetermined conditions are met, my indicator will draw Up/Down arrows on the chart. Is it possible to print the current price on the chart when Up/Down arrow gets triggered? If yes, please direct me to find out how. Thank you. Have a great week.

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Yes, you can take multiple actions within the same code block that draws arrows.

if (Close[0] > Open[0])
{
//DrawArrows
//Can use DrawText() to write price info on the charts.
Print("Close value is: " + Close[0]);
}

Good morning

Thanks for your tip. Am still trying to get the price plotting on the chart

I have a new question please. Is it possible to have a multi-time frame indicator involving a minute and a range interval setting at the same time? Please enlighten me. Thank you.

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Yes, that's fine. There are no restrictions combining minute and range in the same multiseries script.

[belecona]

That's good news Ryan! I will see if I can "marry" minute and range on one lol. Thank you.

Hi Ryan

Believe you have had a nice weekend. You will be glad to learn that I succeeded in creating a multi-time frame indicator that will plot a line and price on a lower time frame chart once some predetermined higher time frame conditions are met.

It took me some weeks and numerous attempts to make it. I'm very grateful for the support you and your team (such as Bertrand, Austin, Josh and Matthew) have been providing me or else it will never happen.

I will continue working on the more advanced multi-time frame signal indicator. It's been over 3 months now. Maybe this baby milestone will give me some new ideas to try lol.

Have a great week.

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Glad to hear you're making progress and that we've been able to guide you in the right direction! Thanks for the status update.
