Condition Check for Squeeze

[givemefood]

I need help in coding the conditions in a squeeze indicator.
I'm able to add the indicator using State.DataLoaded. I want to check for the following conditions:
For long entry, the positive histogram must be 5 or higher, and for short entry, the negative histogram must be -5 or lower.
Can you please help?
Thanks.

Hello givemefood,

Thanks for your post.

Is the indicator one that you created yourself or is it from a third-party developer?

Or, did you get the indicator from the Ecosystem User App Share? If so, please share the link to the indicator with me so I may look at it's code.

Are the bars in the screenshot you shared made by a plot that is added to the indicator script using the AddPlot() method?

If so, you could create a condition that checks if the indicator plot value is greater than or equal to 5 or if the indicator plot value is less than or equal to -5.

If the indicator calls the AddPlot() method, you could set up your conditions in the Strategy Builder and click the 'View code' button to see the generated syntax for how the conditions are coded.

Hi,

I downloaded the indicator from https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...tum-indicator/
The bars are from the indicator.
If I can generate the code from strategy builder, I want to know what to pick in Conditions under the left column and right column. That's what I am struggling with.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Hello givemefood,

Thanks for your notes.

The 'SqueezeDef' plot in the indicator are the bar plots that you see on the chart when then indicator is running.

You could create a condition that checks if the 'SqueezeDef' plot of the indicator is greater than or equal to 5 and call EnterLong() to place a Long entry order.

To place a short entry order, you could create a condition that checks if the 'SqueezeDef' plot of the indicator is less than or equal to -5 and call EnterLong().

Attached is a screenshot of what the long entry condition might look like in the Strategy Builder.
