plot 50% of previous candle

[pma24]

Hi. I used to have an indicator setting - either EMA or SMA - that would plot a dot at the 50% level of the previous candle. I removed it, and now I don't remember the correct settings. I've tried the lookback at 1, and various other timeframes, but I can't get it to show the 50%. Does anyone know what I should use? Thanks much -

Hello pma24,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums.

"plot a dot at the 50% level of the previous candle"

Are you meaning 50% of the high minus the low of the previous candle?

// low of previous bar plus the difference of the high and low of previous bar multiplied by .5
double previousCandleMid = Low[1] + (High[1] - Low[1]) * .5

Draw.Dot(this, "myDot" + CurrentBar, true, 0, previousCandleMid, Brushes.Blue);

Hi, and thanks Chelsea. Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Are there instructions somewhere on how to add your code?

Hello pma24,

You are currently posting in the Indicator Development section of the forums for topics related to programming Ninjascripts in C#. You are currently developing your own indicator code is this correct?

Below is a link to a support article with helpful resources on getting started with NinjaScript and C#.

You can copy and paste this code into the OnBarUpdate() override method in an indicator.

Sorry - I guess I selected the wrong section. Thanks for your help.
