Rob Booker Intraday Pivots - Request for guidance

[AaronKTradingForum]

Hello,

I am currently converting the the C Trader version of the Rob Booker Intraday pivots into a usable Ninja Trader 8 indicator.

For reference, the C Trader version can be found here: https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/2828

And as for my progress on the Ninja Trader 8 indicator, I have gotten this far: https://file.io/Tbda2B7Sw4if

There are no errors when I compile the code, but the indicator is not showing anything on the chart for some reason.

I know I must be missing something very obvious but I can't seem to put my finger on it. Any suggestions?

Key point: I tried to use some of the same techniques used by the default Pivots.cs indicator in Ninjatrader 8, but to no avail...

Hello AaronKTradingForum,

You will need to add prints for debugging to understand the behavior.

Print the BarsInProgress (since you are adding multiple series), print the time of the bar, and print the values you are supplying to the Draw.Line() call.

Also, check the Drawing Objects window to see if any objects are being drawn.

Thanks. Just out of curiosity, did anything stick out in the code that did not seem logical? I'm a bit baffled

Hello AaronKTradingForum,

Unfortunately, I don't really understand how this script works.

It has 4 data series being processed, with no checks for BarsInProgress, so not really predictable on what it should be doing.

Drawing objects are only attached to the primary chart bars BarsInProgress 0. Calling draw methods during other BarsInProgress don't really make sense to me.
Also there is code looking for an existing object that seems complex and I'm not quite sure what is being accomplished by this either.

But if you print out information from the conditions and values that lead to drawing the object, I could tell you why or why not the condition evaluated as true.
