ADX indicator trending higher

[bbucha_stk]

I have a strategy running a 4 renko chart and lets say a 5min chart
As the 4 renko fires on the strategy the second time point 5min
can also be checked.
Using the standard ADX indicator that Ninja provides how do you tell at any point the ADX is rising or falling?
Of course you could look at privious closed 5 min bars, but I want to know when the 4 renko fires the condition of the 5 min ADX.
I can get the current BID price on the 5 min but what do I compare against?

Hello bbucha_stk,
Say your primary series is the 4 Renko and the 5 minute bar is the secondary series.

To know is the ADX based on the 5 minute bar array is rising or falling when the primary series updates please use the below code

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
{
    if (Rising(ADX(Closes[1],14)))
   {
      //do something
    }
    else if (Falling(ADX(Closes[1], 14)))
    {      
      //do something
    }
}

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

Thanks I was looking at that approach but I misunderstood
Rising : Checks for a rising condition which is true when the current value is greater than the value of 1 bar ago.

I was thinking it was saying that it looked at the prior two closed bars
Thanks

I have as mentioned a indicator that I created and I am using it via a strategy. I have some print statements in the indicator code that does not print to the output window.
The strategy prints, and I also added the print statement onbarupdate as the first line but no output.
Any ideas???

Hello bbucha_stk,
Can you send a toy NinjaScript code* replicating the behavior to support[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com

Please append Attn:Joydeep in the subject line of the email and give a reference of this thread in the body of the email.

I look forward to assisting you further.

The "toy" just means something that is a stripped down version that isn't necessarily the whole logic. It makes things easier to rout out.
