Rob Booker Pivots Indicator - Calculation Help Request

[AaronKTradingForum]

Hello,

I posted in this forum last week for some help converting the Rob Booker Intraday Pivot indicator from Ctrader to Ninja Trader 8.

With some hard work, I finally managed to get it to print on the chart, but it appears the pivots are not calculated the same as on Trading view.

I want to release this indicator for free on NT8 so that other people can use it in the future, so if you can help me out that would be great!

The code for the NT8 version of the indicator is also attached to this post..

For example, let's take GC1.

Here is the Ninja Trader 8 chart:

And here is the Trading View chart:

Hello AaronKTradingForum,

Thanks for your post.

Since the script is a Ctrader script and not created by NinjaTrader, we do not know what might be different between the external indicator script's logic and the logic in the NinjaScript you created. Further, only the Using declarations and generated NinjaScript code is visible in the .cs file you shared and not the entire logic of the script.

To understand exactly how the logic in the script is behaving, debugging prints should be added to the script that prints out all the values being used for calculating the value being assigned to the plot along with labels and comparison operators being used.

See this NinjaTrader Support article detailing Debugging using Prints(): https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/ar...nd-TraceOrders
