Price levels indicator

[Ludwik]

Hi,
I'm not new to creating indicators but have never created this kind of indicator before.
Basically I would like to have an indicator which does following but I don't even know where to start since I don't know how to store records in NT8:

1. I would like to start counting price levels after 8 pm every day
2. If price moves above the 4pm-8pm high.low range than I would like know how far does the price goes above the range before retracing into the range.
3. If it retraces into the range then I would like know how far into the range did it retrace or did it go to the other side of the range if so then how far before the first retracement into the range.
4. I would like to be able to access these records and ideally download if possible to excel or csv file

I only found one indicator which lets to create high-low of the time range but that's about it. I have no clue where to go from there.

Thank you

Hello Ludwik,

First, below is a link to a forum post with helpful resources on getting started with C# and NinjaScript.

Next, below is a link to an example of comparing the current high with the high saved to a variable.

Last, you can write / read a text file like a .cvs file with StreamWriter and StreamReader.

Below are links to the reference samples in the help guide which demonstrate.

Hi,
It sounds like I can't do it with the NinjaScript alone.
Is this correct?
Thank you

Hello Ludwik,

All of the links I have provided are to NinjaScript resources..

What specifically do you mean by NinjaScript alone? Do you mean not using c# in the NinjaScript that is not in the help guide? The C# StreamWriter is part of C# and is not documented in the help guide. So it would require using C# that is general C# and not specific to NinjaScript.
