Breakout of X Bar Low or X Bar High

[NinjaTrader_Kate]

Hello kumaresh11live,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, that was correct. Your error comes from the fact that you've copied this line twice:

double value = MIN(Low, 20)[1];

Basically that means you're trying to create a variable twice, which you can't do.

Remove the second appearance of that line and it should compile for you.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello kumaresh11live,

Thank you for your reply.

Most likely it's because you're checking the current bar to see if the low is lower, but since it updates on the current bar you want to actually look at the previous bar.

In this line, change the 0 in brackets to a 1 to make it check the previous bar:
double value = MIN(Low, 20)[0];

Then recompile, and remove and readd the indicator to the chart.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello Kate
Now, I see the signals as arrows but I set it to Dots, as you can see here
obviously the script has a line to draw Arrowdown but I gave Dots during my Indicator wizard

Kate - also I would need the Dots to have 2 of these

1) need diff color for Low and diff color for High'
2) need dots size adjustable, but I already see this parameter

so we need to overwrite that "ArrayUp", ArrayDown" to 2 diff colors of Dots

Hello kumaresh11live,

Thanks for your replies.

This is Paul responding for Kate who is out of the office.

Your indicator shows that you have added a plot that is set to plot dots. However the code is not assigning anything to that plot. Instead a Draw.ArrowDown() is used and that is why you are only seeing arrows.

To use the plot, I would suggest removing (or commenting out for now) the line that starts with Draw.ArrowDown(...) and replace the Draw.ArrowDown(...) with the plot assignment set to the value (Y axis) that you want to show the dots at on the current bar.

For example try this:

if (Low[0] < value)
{
MinMaxInput_Dots[0] = Low[0] - 3 * TickSize; // Plot a dot 3 ticks below the Low of the current bar
}

For coloring the dots of the plot differently, you would need additional code called PlotBrushes where you assign the brush color at the time of the plot for just that dot (in this case). For example:

if (Low[0] < value)
{
PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Red; // set the dot to be Red in this case of (Low[0] < value)
MinMaxInput_Dots[0] = Low[0] - 3 * TickSize; // Plot a dot 3 ticks below the Low of the current bar
}
