Indicator for MA of Highs and Lows of bars not On The Close

[Rancher]

Hello, I know nothing about C# and have been searching for this indicator everywhere that I can think of. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello Rancher,

Thanks for your notes.

To clarify, are you looking for an existing NinjaScript indicator that has say the SMA indicator calculate from the High price or Low price?

You could consider adding the SMA indicator to a chart window and setting the SMA indicator's 'Input series' property to calculate based on the High or Low instead of the Close.

See this demonstration video: https://brandonh-ninjatrader.tinytak...OV8yMjQyMDY3MQ

Thank you Brandon that solves half of my query. I need a line for the high AND the low. It seems that with this solution I can only use one or the other.

Hi Brandon, thank you for your reply. I was wondering if you think the Bollinger Bands could be modified to make the top line the high MA, remove the middle line, make the bottom line the low MA. Thank you!

Hello Rancher,

Thanks for your notes.

You would need to create your own custom indicator that uses Draw.Line() to draw lines on the chart at a specific value.

In regard to the Bollinger Bands question, yes, you could create a custom NinjaScript indicator to accomplish this.

To create a copy of the script to modify, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Indicators folder, double-click on the Bollinger file, right-click in the Bollinger script's code, select 'Save as', name the copy, and click OK.

Once you create a copy of the script you could modify the code to suit your needs.

So sorry I'm posting in the wrong place. Thank you for correcting. Gotta love these newbies, eh? Thank you for your reply. I have just one more question. I'm trying to import a 3rd party indicator and I get this message. Any thing you could help me with? I don't recall any custom files.

For NinjaTrader 8:

Hi Brandon, I'm having trouble uploading the screen shots. I get a "Timed Out" error. I downloaded a 3rd party MA indicator and I think it messed up a lot of things.
