Help with Strategy builder

[suraj]

Hi,

(1) I was trying to make a strategy where a green up arrow is printed below bar on the chart when a Fast, say 3 period, MA crosses above a Slow, say 20 period, MA and a red down arrow is plotted above bar when the Fast MA crosses under the Slow MA?

(2) I was able to get arrow on the cross above but only the last arrow remained on the chart - all previous arrows printed below bar on cross above disappeared from chart even though the bar was still visible - i.e. only the last cross above was visible.

(3) Please point me to a Strategy builder example which will help me understand how to go about implementing this strategy and to any tutorial on this.

(4) Also is it possible to plot a ribbon in a lower panel with ribbon color green after cross above and red after cross under?

(5) How to modify above strategy so as to plot arrows / ribbon color when say NinjaTrader indicator like RSI - the RSI plot crosses above/below the AVG plot?

thanks

Hi Brandon,
thanks for your quick reply. I will have to read through the guide and use unique tag names.

>>So we may accurately assist, what exactly are you referring to by a "ribbon"?

what I want to do is to make wide colored lines (in panel 2 say) where say top wide line is green if say 10 SMA is above 20 SMA or red if below 20 SMA. Second wide line is green when say 50 SMA is above 220 SMA or red if below. So looking at the panel 2 we can immediately see if short term and long term Moving Average trend is UP or DOWN

>>Are you wanting to add a plot line to the strategy that appears in an indicator panel and assign a value to the plot?
To help make clear the question 5) How to modify above strategy so as to plot arrows / ribbon color when say NinjaTrader indicator like RSI - the RSI plot crosses above/below the AVG plot?

In the first case with the MAs I am trying to put an up or down arrow below or above the price bars, and plotting a ribbon in panel 2 showing at a glance if faster MA is above or below slower MA for two different MA period sets,

Question is how to modify this so that instead of SMA I can use the Ninja Trader built in RSI indicator's RSI plot (not the average plot) and plot a up arrow below Price Bar if RSI value is above 20 and at the same time make the ribbon color green in panel 2 - or no arrow and ribbon color red if RSI value is below 20?

Another variation on the above RSI plot is to plot the arrow and color ribbon green when RSI crosses above value of 20 and plot down arrow above bar and color ribbon Red when RSI value Crosses from above 70 to below 70.


thanks,
