Chart Pattern with SMA

[joeyfreshwater]

Hi,

How can I code a specific chart pattern to light up ONLY when it closes below a specific SMA?

Hello joeyfreshwater,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

You would need to create the logic of the chart pattern and combine it with the logic of the current bars close relative to the current value of the SMA.

Depending on what chart pattern you need, you may be able to use the indicator "CandleStickPatterns" in your NinjaTrader. When the indicator detects the selected pattern it will produce a signal of +1.

To "light" up the chart pattern, there are a number of means to draw attention to the pattern, it just depends on what you would like to do.

If you are not familiar with Ninjascript, which is based on C#, you can walk through a tutorial here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...indicators.htm

If you are not familiar with C# programming language you can do an online search for C# tutorials.
