Quarters Theory indicator?

[uelsimon]

Anyone already know of.... have... or willing to whip up a simple indicator I can't find (wonders why)?

Simple need it to provide data plots at designated price points. (in this case, every 50pips.... so prices that end in 00 and 50.)
Ideally, it'd search for the numbers provided, and provide the plots when price ends in that number

bonus points if it can toggle showing lines on the chart.

so basically the logic is something like this:

input price ending: [ending]
input plot lines on chart y/n: [N]

check price
if price ends in [ending]
then create data plot at price
if [plot lines on chart = Y] then draw horizontal line on chart.

or something like that.

thanks for the pointing me in the right direction.

Hello uelsimon,

Thank you for your post.

I wanted to check, are there any other names this theory goes by? You may find existing items in the publically available user app share here:
http:// https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-results/?fwp_usa_search=Quarters%20Theory

I am unsure of an existing item with this specific description, however, if there are other names I could try looking for those as well.

If this is something you wanted to try and develop, I could also provide some educational resources to help learn NinjaScript.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

The indicator is called RoundNumbers and already exists.

aligator - thanks. That got me halfway there. the lines showed up. but no data plots were accessible. But hey..at least they are on the chart... so I'll take that as a small win along the way.
tnx again.

NP. The rounded 00, 50, etc. prices usually would show on the vertical chart edge and is really redundant to re-print the values.

Also, the vertical grid can be customized in Ninja to have horizontal grid lines at any intervals (ticks) that you wish without the need for the indicator.

[uelsimon]

all true, infact I did all of those prior to asking... but I'm after the data plots for an algorithm I'm working on.
hoping an indicator would have reduced the need to custom program it. alas... nope!

The RoundNumbers indicator and the Quarters Theory Indicator are not the same thing.
