question about Crossover's

[memonolog]

Hello everyone, question about Crossover

I use the code to output the signal to the strategy

the code

if (Close[0] > Values[1][0] && Open[0] > Values[1][0] && High[0] > Values[1][0] && Low[0] > Values[1][0])

{
// Paint the current price bar lime to draw our attention to it
BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.Lime;

/* This crossover condition is considered bullish so we set the "bullIndication" Series<bool> object to true.
We also set the "bearIndication" object to false so it does not take on a null value. */
bullIndication[0] = (true);
bearIndication[0] = (false);
}

else if (Close[0] < Values[1][0] && Open[0] < Values[1][0] && High[0] < Values[1][0] && Low[0] < Values[1][0])

{
// Paint the current price bar magenta to draw our attention to it
BarBrushes[0] = Brushes.Magenta;

/* This crossover condition is considered bearish so we set the "bearIndication" Series<bool> object to true.
We also set the "bullIndication" object to false so it does not take on a null value. */
bullIndication[0] = (false);
bearIndication[0] = (true);
}

// Crossover: No cross
else
{
/* Since no crosses occured we are not receiving any bullish or bearish signals so we
set our Series<bool> objects both to false. */
bullIndication[0] = (false);
bearIndication[0] = (false);
}

// We set our variable to the close value.
exposedVariable = Close[0];

conditions

if (Close[0] > Values[1][0] && Open[0] > Values[1][0] && High[0] > Values[1][0] && Low[0] > Values[1][0])
else if (Close[0] < Values[1][0] && Open[0] < Values[1][0] && High[0] < Values[1][0] && Low[0] < Values[1][0])

work correctly and paint over the bars if the price crosses the Plot0 line
everything is as i need

The problem is that under these conditions a signal is sent to the strategy at each bar.

I tried to replace condition with Crossover so that the signal comes only once and only when crossing the line

if (CrossAbove(Values[1], 900, 1))
else if (CrossBelow(Values[1], 900, 1))

but unfortunately then the indication does not work - the code does not work, what am I doing wrong? the problem is in syntax? how to do it right?

Hello memonolog,

Thank you for your post.

The CrossAbove/CrossBelow conditions you have shared would check if a second added plot (Values[1]) in your script crosses above or below a value of 900 on the previous bar.

What specifically is not working with the code?
Are you not seeing the candle painted when the CrossAbove/CrossBelow condition returns true?
Does the added plot not show on the chart?
What value is being assigned to the plot?

Please see the modified version of SampleBoolSeries attached that demonstrates adding two plots to the indicator script and using CrossAbove/CrossBelow conditions to determine if a candle is painted.

Also, see the help guide documentation below for more information about using AddPlot().

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 110000)

if (IsFirstTickOfBar)

Open = Close[0];

}
}

OPEN[0] = open;

}

Are you not seeing the candle painted when the CrossAbove/CrossBelow condition returns true? = yes
Does the added plot not show on the chart? = plot show on the char
What value is being assigned to the plot? = OPEN[0] = open;

with

if (Close[0] > Values[1][0] && Open[0] > Values[1][0] && High[0] > Values[1][0] && Low[0] > Values[1][0]) else if (Close[0] < Values[1][0] && Open[0] < Values[1][0] && High[0] < Values[1][0] && Low[0] < Values[1][0])

everything is as i need

[memonolog]

i just don't know the right one
syntax
for an analog these condition

if (Close[0] > Values[1][0]

but with the

CrossAbove

The CrossAbove/CrossBelow conditions you have shared would check if a second added plot (Values[1]) in your script crosses above or below a value of 900 on the previous bar.

i need to
CrossAbove/CrossBelow conditions check if a current price crosses above or below plot (Values[1]) on the previous bar

Hello memonolog,

Thank you for your note.

If you would like to create a condition in your script that checks if the plot crosses above or below a certain value, such as the Close[0], you would need to call the following.

if (CrossAbove(Values[1], Close[0], 1))
{
...
{
else if (CrossBelow(Values[1], Close[0], 1))
{
...
}

This would check if the second plot added in your script (Values[1]) crosses above or below the current Close price.

Ultimately, debugging steps should be taken to determine how your script is behaving.

To understand why the script is behaving as it is, it is necessary to add prints to the script that print the values used for the logic of the script to understand how the script is evaluating.

In the script add prints (outside of any conditions) that print the values of every variable used along with the time of that bar. Prints will appear in the NinjaScript Output window (New > NinjaScript Output window).

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using prints to understand behavior and including a link to a video recorded using the Strategy Builder.

unfortunately this code doesn’t work and I don’t understand why

I know about the print, but I don't quite understand how it will help me if I don't know what's the matter

Hello memonolog,

Thank you for your note.

Unfortunately, in the support department at NinjaTrader it is against our policy to create, debug, or modify, code or logic for our clients. Further, we do not provide C# programming education services in our support. This is so that we can maintain a high level of service for all of our clients as well as our partners.

Taking debugging steps will allow you to understand what values are being used for the conditions in your script while the conditions are being processed. By adding prints before the conditions in your script that print out the values being used in your conditions you are able to determine how the values in your script are being calculated. If the script is processing data and we print all the values used in the conditions then we can see on which bars the conditions are true or false, and we get to know why they are true are false because we can look at the same values used in the condition. For example, you would be able to see what value is being assigned to Values[1] as well as the value used by Close[0] to determine if your condition is returning true or not. Or, you would be able to determine if a value in your script returns null.

Please see the forum post in my previous reply regarding how to go about debugging your script.
