CCI Indicator

[Segwin]

Hello All,

Refer to attached pic.

Looking for a CCI indicator (or a way to) that fills in with a color (such as grey) in the area that is over the limits like 100 /-100. Just for a visual highlight to draw attention.

Thanks.

Hello Segwin,

Thank you for your note.

I put together a sample indicator which will shade the area above the 100 line when CCI is >100.

I used Draw.Region method, see the following section of our helpguide,

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?draw_region.htm

Indicator was put together as a sample and you could modify it to include additional functionality.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Excellent Alan. I have a go at it as well. Like to color a few others as well.

Thank you!

Hello Alan,

I am having a little trouble with the Draw Region example you produced. In this your minimum line is also a plot, and thus your Draw Region draws between two plots. this seems a strange decision, because one would have thought that you would use a plot and a line. Instead we have two plots. Is this an important distinction.

I actually dont want the entire minimum line filled in, I only want to do the fill between the minimum line and the upper line, without drawing the whole minimum line. So I initially just initialsied a double series, and try to draw region, but it does not work. Even if I change it to the second variant of the Draw region, where i use a Double Price value, it still doesn't work. Is the problem the fact that I am not using a plot? Can you please advise?
Thanks

Brett

Hello cloudbrett,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

The Draw.Region() method is only able to draw between two plots. In this case, the example is showing how to shade a region between a plot with updated values and a zero line which must be a plot with 0 on each new bar to be able to be used with Draw.Region().

You can draw between any two regions you supply.

Yes you must supply a plot.
