Double Variable or Data Series Perhaps?

[alabell]

Why would the following code return "0":


Print(pivotPoint);


when

double pivotPoint = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20).PP[0];

both are placed on an on tick bar update, so every tick should print the pivot point for the given day.

I am sure I am just missing something dumb, but thank you for any help...

Hello Andrew,
To assist you further may I know are you getting the 0 (zero) values on the historical bars on in the realtime bars.

I look forward to assisting you further.

real time bars on every tick update. Thanks in advance.

Any help appreciated.

Hello Andrew,
Please refer to our help guide to know more about Historical.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?historical.htm

If you use the below code then are you getting the right values.

if (Historical) return;
double pivotPoint = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20).PP[0];
Print(pivotPoint);

Please note doing so means you are only calculating the values in realtime.

joydeep:

I am ONLY using realtime. Not historical.

Still, the pivot point should be a given value all day long and i am getting a return value of "zero".

It is very strange, please advise.

Hello Andrew,
I am able to get the correct values at my end.

If you calculate the Pivot from intraday data then can you get the correct values. Please use the below code and see if you can work it correctly.

double pivotPoint = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, [B]HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData[/B], 0, 0, 0, 20).PP[0];

Also please let me know who your connectivity provider is.

[alabell]

My provider is kinetick(real time, not free), but i have already discarded the intraday calc in favor of the day bar calc.

I am becoming confused again as to why this isn't working.

Hello Andrew,
To assist you further I need to replicate the scenario at my end.

Can you please send a toy code depicting the scenario to support[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com

Also please do let me know the step by step reproducible scenario (including chart settings on which you have applied the code etc).

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.

is it mandatory to have the strategy code charted? i am using it mostly on a numerical basis.

[NinjaTrader_Joydeep]

Hello Andrew,
Except for rare case you do not need to chart the strategy code.

To make sure the values are correct you can use the Print function to print out the values in the Output window (Tools>Output Window).

[alabell]
