Zombie Zig Zap and PriceAction Swing

[esmall]

Neither program displays data in data box. Display in Box is checked. Something is blocking that function. Any idea why ?

Hello esmall,

Thank you for your post.

I added this indicator to a chart and I was able to see values in the data box when the plot has an assigned value. Here is a video to demonstrate: https://www.screencast.com/t/mcATCQo5pi6X

If the plot does not have an assigned value for the bar index where your cursor is, the data box shows n/a. If you have further questions, please reach out to the developer of the indicators directly for more information on the intended functionality of the indicators.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

I tried it on a clean chart and get no data at all as I move the cursor like you did here is the link to my video

Based on your video, you may have the plot color(s) set to transparent and you may need to consider the ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox property:

The only information I have regarding the author comes from the script itself in lines 1-10. I will refrain from posting the email address that is noted in those lines in order to prevent spam messages being sent to that email address (this can sometimes happen when a plaintext email address is posted publicly here in the forum). Here is a redacted snippet from the script:

Nothing is transparent - please try again - why would it not work

Hello esmall,

Thanks for your reply.

These are the plots added by the indicator:

https://www.screencast.com/t/nKMWKH4aHT0X

You could debug this yourself with prints by printing the value of each plot for 0 bars ago if it is not null. For example:

if (DoubleBottom[0] != null)
Print(string.Format("{0} DoubleBottom[0]: {1} CurrentBar: {2}", Time[0], DoubleBottom[0], CurrentBar));

Then, if you look at the output from the NinjaScript Output window and see prints for a specific plot, you should be able to see that value for the printed time/CurrentBar index when you hover your cursor over that bar on the chart.

We do not provide hands-on debugging services, so if you require more assistance with understanding how this script works you will need to reach out to the author.

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