Using the Zigzag indicator as a signal handler

[ROZELA99]

I am trying to convert a signal handler from the swing indicator to the zigzag indicator and I am stuck. Here is the code I currently have.

else if (State == State.DataLoaded){

Zigzag = Zigzag;
signalHandler = AddChartIndicator(zigzag);
signalHandler.AddSignal(new Zigzag(this));

dotsHandler = new DotsHandler(this);
pattersHandler = new PattersHandler(this);

Thanks in advance

Hello ROZELA99,

Thanks for your post.

The code you have mentioned for "SignalHandler" "DotsHandler" and "PatternsHandler" would not be supported NinjaScript code that we provide.

Also note that AddChartIndicator does not have a return value and cannot be assigned to a variable.

If you would like to use the ZigZag indicator in a another NinjaScript, you could instantiate the indicator in State.DataLoaded and use the indicator's HighBar and LowBar methods to determine where ZigZig High's and Low's have occurred.

Instantiating the indicator:

private ZigZag ZigZag1;

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
    {
        Name                                        = "MyScript";
    }
    else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
    {                
        ZigZag1                = ZigZag(Close, DeviationType.Points, 0.5, false);
    }
}

Syntax for using the ZigZag indicator and the HighBar and LowBar methods can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?zigzag.htm
