Strategy Wizard - Get Indicator Value from 3 bars

[bob77713]

Hi,

Is it possible using the strategy wizard (I'm not a programmer), to get the value of an indicator for the past 3 bars and add the total and then compare to a value? For example:

Indicatorvalue(bar2) + Indicatorvalue(bar1) + Indicatorvalue(bar0) = totalvalue.

totalvalue < 20

Thank you.

Hello bob77713,

You may try to use the User Variable to be able to calculate this inside of the Strategy Wizard for something like this. Note that your Condition will have to be true before you use the variable so that NinjaTrader does the calculations before you use it.

To do this you would want to use a "Set a user defined variable" in your Strategy Action part. Then under value, you may select your Indicator and add an Offset Type of Price, and select the Indicator again as the Offset with your Bars Ago reference. See attached screenshot for an example.
