command to calculate Compound Value for NT*

[sukhob]

I am trying to find a code or command for NT8 to calculate a compound value according to following rule: if a bar number is greater than length then the visible data value is returned, otherwise the historical data value is returned. This function is used to initialize studies with recursion.
I am new to NT8.Any help will be appreciated.

Hello sukhob,

The bar number is CurrentBar.

By visible data you are meaning the visible bars on the chart as the chart is scrolled around?

This would come from the ChartBars.FromIndex and .ToIndex.

Then you are wanting to loop through the visible bars, is this correct?

Actually I am trying to convert ThinkorSwim (TOS) indicator to NT8. There is a command in TOS, CompoundValue. To see the details of that command please visit the following link: https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/r.../CompoundValue
I would like to use the similar command for NT8. Please help me with it. Thanks.

Hello sukhob,

I'm not aware of any command or method in NinjaScript with this functionality.

I am happy to submit a feature request for the development team to consider this if you would like.

For now, you will likely need to create that method.

Please submit a feature request. Thanks

Hello sukhob,

I have received tracking ID# SFT-4622 for this request for a CompoundValue() method.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.
