Need to Set up a Stochastics Alarm

[RookieTrader]

I know how to set up period D crossing above/below period K, but is there a way to set an alarm when the Stochastics Period-D rises or falls below the 50 (median) line in Ninjascript?

RookieTrader, yes you could code this up via using the Alert method after your condition or by setting this up as strategy in our wizard -

Bertrand,

Thanks for the response. I didn't see any coding on how to set up a Stochastics alert, but I tried a couple of different ways though. I tried “D” crossing above/below “K” and I tried the user defined inputs and numeric values (see below), but it still isn’t working. I’m sure it’s something simple I not seeing. Are you able to determine from the data below what the issue is?

__________________________________________________ ________
{
// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(Stochastics(1, 3, 2).D, Stochastics(1, 3, 2).K, 1))
{
Alert("MyAlert3", Priority.High, "", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}

// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(Stochastics(1, 3, 2).D, Stochastics(1, 3, 2).K, 1))
{
Alert("MyAlert1", Priority.High, "", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}


- AND –



{
// Condition set 1
if (Stochastics(1, 3, 2).D[0] > Median50)
{
Alert("Alert3", Priority.High, "", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}

// Condition set 2
if (Stochastics(1, 3, 2).D[0] < 50)
{
Alert("Alert1", Priority.High, "", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}

Hello RookieTrader,

From the descrption of your first post, it seems like you want to be alerted when the d crosses 50. On the right side of the condition builder select Misc > Numeric value > type in 50.

The snippets below are closer to this:

 
// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(Stochastics(7, 14, 3).D, 50, 1))
{
Alert("MyAlert0", Priority.High, "", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}
// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(Stochastics(7, 14, 3).D, 50, 1))
{
Alert("MyAlert1", Priority.High, "", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}

RyanM,

I tested it and that did the trick. Thanks for your help.
