Why CrossBelow doesn't work??

[mbcito]

Why why why???

Procedure chkTendencia() executing OnBarUpdate() event always.
var Tendencia="N" always ( is a strategy parameter )

        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                SMA(SMAPeriod).Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Green;
                WMA(SMAPeriod).Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Red;
                AddChartIndicator(SMA(SMAPeriod));
                AddChartIndicator(WMA(SMAPeriod));    
            }
            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {    
                SMA1         = SMA(Closes[0], SMAPeriod);
                WMA1         = WMA(Closes[0], SMAPeriod);
            }
        }


        // ************************************************** *****************************    
        public void chkTendencia()
        {    
            string oldTend=myTendencia;
            if (Tendencia=="N")
            {
                myTendencia = "A";
                if (CrossBelow(WMA1, SMA1, 1)) myTendencia = "B";
                if (oldTend!=myTendencia)
                {    
                    totLines++;
                    Draw.Text(this,string.Format("TEXT{0}",totLines), string.Format("New Tend: {0}",myTendencia) ,0,High[0]+5);
                }
            }
        }

Thanks!

Hello mbcito,

Thanks for your post.

I would suggest debugging your code by using Print statements. The Print statement will send its output to the New>Ninjascript output window.

The CrossBelow() method in your code requires Tendencia=="N" to be true before it can even check for a cross so you would want to print out the value Tendencia. to see when specifically it is true and then Print the value myTendencia to see when it changes.

Here is a link to our debugging tips: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...script_cod.htm

Here is an example that may help: Print (Time[0]+" Tendencia = "+Tendencia); // print the close time of the bar and the value of Tendencia on that bar.

Thanks Paul!!!

Now I' am doing this, and it's working good!

        public void chkTendencia()
        {    
            string oldTend=myTendencia;
            if (Tendencia=="N")
            {
                myTendencia = "A";
                //if (CrossBelow(WMA1, SMA1, 1)) myTendencia = "B";
                if (WMA1[0] < SMA1[0] ) myTendencia = "B";
                if (oldTend!=myTendencia) 
                {    
                    totLines++;
                    Draw.Text(this,string.Format("TEXT{0}",totLines), string.Format("New Tend: {0}",myTendencia) ,3,SMA1[0]+1);
                }
            }
        }
