Indicator has been perfect but now Issues

[Christopher Leggit]

Hello NT Community,

I have a simple indicator that tells me if the volume of the current is greater than the volume of the two previous candle added together

It has been working perfect but today it has stopped, the problem is the Input series in the indicator properties it is showing as "Close".
I edit Input and make it NQ 12-21(5 Minute) but no deal it reverts straight back to "Close".
The only chart that it works on is the 60 minute chart because the Input Series stays set to "NQ 12-21(60 Minute)"

Any Ideas would be appreciated.

OK I've narrowed down the issue, It works when I have less days loaded on the chart but when I load 28days or more the Indicator says no

Hello Christopher Leggit,

I would suggest to check the control center log tab to see if you are getting any errors when running it with more data. The input series would be determined by the series which you had applied the indicator to.

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

Hi Jesse,

There is an error I had not looked I'm still learning these things,

Indicator ": Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate method on bar 1: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since it is out-of-range. I.E. accessing a series [barsAgo] with a value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart.

I don't understand this
"value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart"

My onbarupdate code

{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
return;

// Set 1 Long
if ((Close[0] > Open[0]) // Green Candle
&& (Volume[0] > (Volume[1] + Volume[2]))) // Volume of current has more volume than [1] & [2] combined
{
BarBrush = Brushes.ForestGreen;
}

// Set 2 Short
if ((Open[0] > Close[0]) // Red Candle
&& (Volume[0] > (Volume[1] + Volume[2]))) // Volume of current has more volume than [1] & [2] combined
{
BarBrush = Brushes.DarkOrange;
}
}


Jesse I'm also editing a moving average Indicator, what I want to do is raise them on the chart by 10 ticks

these are the plots
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.ForestGreen), PlotStyle.Line, "WmaHigh");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.MediumBlue), PlotStyle.Line, "WmaClose");
AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "WmaLow");

I have tried adding to the plots

High[0] + (10 * TickSize);

Hello Christopher Leggit,

The index out of range is because you are referencing 2 bars ago before the script has processed 2 bars.

Please see below:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?make_sure_you_have_enough_bars.htm

As for raising the plot 10 ticks, you are correct that the plot could be assigned a value + (10 * TickSize)

I suggest reviewing our indicator tutorials and AddPlot documentation to better see how indicator are assigned their plot values, so you can see how you can make your own indicators and plots with their own values.
