Good morning, I need to create a simple indicator to draw a dot if six consecutive closing prices are higher / lower than the previous bar.

can you give me a few pointers to create this indi??

Hello futuros,

Thanks for your post.

I would suggest using the Ninjascript wizard to create the indicator framework. Please see the help guide here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?ns_wizard.htm

Once you have run through the wizard, it will leave the code open in the Ninjascript editor.

In the OnBarUpdate() you would need to create your logic for the 6 consecutive closes and when true, you can use the Draw.Dot() method: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../?draw_dot.htm

Because you are looking at the last 6 bars at any time, you need to prevent a bar access error at the beginning of your code by preventing your code from running until it has loaded at least 6 bars (this is not the same as bars on the chart) You can do this by checking if the system bar counter (CurrentBar) is less than 6, like this:

if (CurrentBar < 6) return; // do not process below this code line until 6 bars loaded.
