MedianActivator Data Type

[markbb10]

Hello,

I am attempting to learn ninjascript and develop some strategies for my trading. In looking at a indicator that I am trying to use in a strategy I came across the
data type MedianActivator, at least I think it is a data type. I cannot find any documentation on this can someone point me to where it is.

The line of code in the indicator I am looking at is

private MedianActivator MarkAct;

I will probably have lots of questions coming as I hope onto this path thanks in advance for the support.

Hello markbb10,

If the script is an indicator the class type will be the name of the indicator.

What you have appears correct to declare a variable of that type.

private MedianActivator MarkAct;

The indicator needs to be called in OnStateChange() when State is State.DataLoaded to instantiate an instance and this can be assigned to your variable.

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
MarkAct = MedianActivator(/* any parameters here */);
}

Then the properties and series can be used from the object assigned to the variable in OnBarUpdate().

Print(MarkAct[0]);
or
Print(MarkAct.CustomPlot[0]);

I recommend using the strategy builder to call this indicator and viewing the code.

Below is a link to a forum post with some helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript and C#.

Thank you Chelsea, I will give that a try. I do not see an indicator call MedianActivator but will look a little deeper into it. Appreciate the help.

Hello Mark,

This was the suggested indicator name in post #1.

If the indicator is not named MedianActivator, what is the indicator name?

Can you further clarify your mention of MedianActivator in post #1?

Thanks Chelsea, yes I did, this is code that I am using as a sample to learn and I did not know it was an indicator or that it could be defined that way. I did find it and have
a much clearer understanding now.. Thanks for your help.
