Rising/Falling method when CoBC = false

[arbuthnot]

Hi guys

Just a quick question:

When CoBC = true (overlay), we can use the Rising/Falling test and this works very well.

When CoBC = false (study), the Rising/Falling test doesn't work and I'm wondering why this should be. It would be very convenient if this could be achieved.

I've just wasted a couple of hours having forgotten this was the situation!

Any explanation of this will be much appreciated.

How do you mean: "the Rising/Falling test doesn't work" ?

Thanks for getting back to me on this, koganam.

To test this, I set up a simple indicator as follows:

if(Rising(MACD(12, 26, 9).Avg) == true)
{Plot0.Set(1);}

and found that my suspicion that the Rising method doesn't work with oscillators to be completely wrong.

I've started nearly 50 threads and this is the first one that's been a dud.

I hang my head in shame and am prepared to travel all the way to NinjaTrader's office to sit on their naughty step, even though it's a return journey of over 9,000 miles.

However (he pleads in mitigation) there was a very valid reason for suspecting this might be the case. I was working on something which, in a more complex case, seemed not to work with Rising. My work on this has now been deleted but I'll report back to this thread if I come across anything like this that doesn't work.
