Adding pivot indicator to secondary instrument ?

[thehammer]

i am trying to add a second instance of pivot to the secondary instrument , so i can use that information to place a hedge trade based on that information.

R1: 12967.3333333333 R2: 13044.4166666667 Close: 3867.5
S1: 12770.5833333333 S2: 12650.9166666667 Close: 3867.5

its getting the close from the secondary but the R1 and 2 , S1 and 2 are still coming from the primary

how do i fix this ?

below is pieces of the code



else if (State == State.Configure)

{



// set up Pivots indicator

Pivots1 = Pivots(Close, PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20); // using daily bars












// set up RSI indicator

rsi = RSI(RSIPeriod, 3);





// Setup ATR INdicator

atr = ATR(ATRperiod);






AddDataSeries(secondaryInstrumentSymbol,secondaryI nstrumentPeriod);

AddDataSeries("ES ##-##", Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1);






if (ShowIndicators == 1)

{

// Add the indicators to the chart only if ShowIndicators is set to 1

AddChartIndicator(Pivots1);

AddChartIndicator(rsi);

AddChartIndicator(atr);

}






}



else if (State == State.DataLoaded)

{

if (BarsArray[0].Count < 20 || BarsArray[1].Count < 20)

{

// Not enough data to start the strategy, exit or throw an exception

return;

}





// Create a new instance of Pivots and set its Input property

Pivots2 = Pivots(PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20);

Pivots2.SetInput(BarsArray[1]);

AddChartIndicator(Pivots2);



// Wait for all indicators to be initialized

if (Pivots1.State != State.Historical ||Pivots2.State != State.Historical || rsi.State != State.Historical || atr.State != State.Historical)

return;







}




private void ManageHedgeEntry()

{

Print("ManageHedgeEntry called"); // Add this line

Print("MarketPosition: " + Position.MarketPosition);






if (OkToTrade && Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat) // Added condition to check if primary position is active

{

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)

{



Print("In Long position");

Print("R1: " + Pivots2.R1[0] + " R2: " + Pivots2.R2[0] + " Close: " + BarsArray[1].GetClose(0));



// Add more print statements for the conditions

Print("Condition R2: " + (BarsArray[1].GetClose(0) <= Pivots2.R2[0]));

{

}

{

double hedgeShortLimitPrice = Pivots2.R1[0];




hedgeShort2Order = EnterShortLimit(1, true, 1, hedgeShortLimitPrice, @"HedgeShort2");

Print("Entered HedgeShort2"); // Added debug message





}







}

else if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)

{





Print("In Short position");

Print("S1: " + Pivots2.S1[0] + " S2: " + Pivots2.S2[0] + " Close: " + BarsArray[1].GetClose(0));



// Add more print statements for the conditions

Print("Condition S1: " + (BarsArray[1].GetClose(0) >= Pivots2.S1[0]));

Print("Condition S2: " + (BarsArray[1].GetClose(0) >= Pivots2.S2[0]));



if (BarsArray[1].GetClose(0) >= Pivots2.S1[0])

{

double hedgeLongLimitPrice = Pivots2.S1[0] ;

hedgeLong1Order = EnterLongLimit(1, true, 1, hedgeLongLimitPrice, @"HedgeLong1");

Print("Entered HedgeLong1"); // Added debug message

}

if (BarsArray[1].GetClose(0) >= Pivots2.S2[0])

{

double hedgeLongLimitPrice = Pivots2.S2[0];

hedgeLong2Order = EnterLongLimit(1, true, 1, hedgeLongLimitPrice, @"HedgeLong2");

Print("Entered HedgeLong2"); // Added debug message





}

}

}

Hello, thanks for writing in. You will need to have two instances of the Pivots indicator, SetInput is not documented so it is likely not meant to be used in this context. This should also go in State.DataLoaded:

Pivots1 = Pivots(Closes[0], PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20); // using daily bars
Pivots2 = Pivots(Closes[1], PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.DailyBars, 0, 0, 0, 20); // using daily bars //crate a new Pivots2 indicator variable

thank you !!

[thehammer]

getting this when i try to load pivots into : This should also go in State.DataLoaded:

State: Configure

RSI instantiated

ATR instantiated

Secondary data series added

ES data series added

State: Configure

RSI instantiated

ATR instantiated

Secondary data series added

ES data series added

State: DataLoaded

Pivots1 instantiated

One or more indicators not in Historical state

'Pivots' tried to load additional data. All data must first be loaded by the hosting NinjaScript in its configure state. Attempted to load NQ 06-23 Globex: Daily

[thehammer]

then i get this if i load them in configure.state



State: Configure

RSI instantiated

ATR instantiated

Pivots1 instantiated

Strategy 'Pivothedge': Error on calling 'OnStateChange' method: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

then i get this if i place just Pivots2 in else if (State == State.DataLoaded)

Hi, you need to use AddDataSeries within State.Configure only. This is stated in the help guide page on AddDataSeries:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English.html?adddataseries.htm

[thehammer]

thanks for the clarification

[thehammer]

getting this error still code is below not sure why the primary not loading

Hello, you are still calling code in State.Configure that needs to go into State.DataLoaded. All of this needs to go into State.DataLoaded:

rsi = RSI(RSIPeriod, 3);

atr = ATR(ATRperiod);



if (ShowIndicators == 1)

{

// Add the indicators to the chart only if ShowIndicators is set to 1

AddChartIndicator(rsi);

AddChartIndicator(atr);

[thehammer]

ok i will try that

[thehammer]

ok i did what you suggested the code is below :

but still get this error:

'Pivots' tried to load additional data. All data must first be loaded by the hosting NinjaScript in its configure state. Attempted to load NQ 06-23 Globex: Daily




}

else if (State == State.Configure)

{

}

rsi = RSI(RSIPeriod, 3);

atr = ATR(ATRperiod);

ok i got it sorted now :
