Hello kempotrader,

Thanks for your post.

N/A typically refers to a null value. Note that this is not the same as having a value of 0.

So I may accurately assist, are you creating a custom NinjaScript indicator to trigger an alert using the Alert() method based on a specific condition?

Or, are you creating alerts in the Alerts window?

What exactly are you referring to when you mention "Falling"? Is this a plot in an indicator that comes default with NinjaTrader or is this the IsFalling() method?

I look forward to assisting further.

It is one of the conditions of an alert setup. It's one of the items in an Ergodic indicator (see below)



(hopefully, this explains it well enough) AND if we get this, I have another one for you...lol

Thanks kempo

Bump---what happened?

Hi kempotrader, the n/a is identified in C# through the double.NaN field. Unfortunately, It will require a script to determine this value. In a NinjaScript script one would use the IsValidDataPoint() method:
