Help converting Pivot TV indicator to NinjaTrader

[AaronKoRn]

need help converting the native pivot trading view indicator
it is the same as the Swing and Fractal NT indicator

the problem is that Trading View is reading Left to Right
and NinjaTrader is reading from Right to Left

this problem happens when we have equal hights or equal lows

as you can see in the pictures
the NinjaTrader Fractal is on the Left
and the Trading View Pivot is on the Right

what can I do in NinjaTrader?
how can I make it read data left to right?
any tips?

Hello AaronKoRn,

Thanks for your post.

What exactly are you referring to when you mention "the NinjaTrader Fractal is on the Left and the Trading View Pivot is on the Right"

A NinjaTrader indicator will read data from the first bar on the chart (leftmost bar) to the last bar on the chart (rightmost bar / currently forming bar) for calculations. The values would then be accessed using a barsAgo parameter. 0 barsAgo refers to the currently forming bar on the chart. 1 barsAgo refers to 1 bar prior to the currently forming bar. 2 barsAgo refers to two bars prior to the current bar on the chart, and so on.

I look forward to assisting further.

I'm posting a picture,
on the left, we have NT8, in the blue circle you can see the pivot on the left
on the right we have TV, in the blue circle you can see the pivot on the right

how can I make the NT8 indicator read data from the last bar to the first bar?

Hello AaronKoRn,

Thanks for that clarification.

You could try creating a for loop that loops from the CurrentBar and counts backwards to the first bar (bar 0) to read data from the last bar to the first bar on the chart.

CurrentBar: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...sub=currentbar

Note that it wouldn't be suggested to do that on every bar thought as it could cause the script to take more time to process.

That said, I suggest you review how the existing indicators in NinjaTrader process forward one bar at a time as new bars build if you are trying to convert a script from a different platform to understand how NinjaScript are intended to calculate data.
