I am using PAS for NT8 and cannot figure out how to activate the fib feature. I've searched this thread from the time the NT8 version was made available with no luck. Is this feature available in this version. Will someone please lead me in the right direction.

Does anyone have a sample indicator and/or strategy that accesses the PAS indicator/s for NT8?

I have tried referencing the sample strategy written earlier in this forum, however this appears to be written for NT7 and I have been unable to get the sample code to work with NT8 and have not managed to find an answer in the remaining pages since an NT8 version of the indicator was published.

There seems to be a lot of random comments/suggestions on the forum, but I have seen nothing definitive so if anyone does have a simple sample for NT8, either an indicator or a strategy, it would make an unproductive, swearword generating (I thought learning ninjascript would teach me a new language, not new ways to say bad things) weekend much more tolerable.

For anyone who has been bashing their heads trying to make this work with NT8 and has struggled to find anything that works on the forum, here is some sample code that uses an instantiated version of PAS and prints some values (I could not have done this without the excellent help and advice from reach4thelasers)

Included is the the info/code to access PAS, PASOsc as well as pjsCumdelta (be aware that the pjsCumdelta requires you to install that indicator - it was just something that I wanted values from, not something that you need to extract info from PAS) - also the NT8 Swing indicator (again, not needed for PAS, but something I wanted info out of)

The code is split, but the section where it fits under is included, so you can't just copy and paste - you would have to paste into the correct section. Also, you need to install PAS if you want to access it.

"...

Under declarations section
using PriceActionSwing.Base;

public class SUv2 : Indicator
{
private NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.PriceActionSwing.PriceActionSwing PriceActionSwing1;
private NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.PriceActionSwing.PriceActionSwingOscillator PriceActionSwingOscillator1;
private DivergenceMode divergenceMode = DivergenceMode.pjsCumDelta;

private SimpleFont textFont = new SimpleFont("Courier", 15);
private pjsCumDelta CumDelta;
private int param1 = 20;
private int param2 = 20;
private int param3 = 20;

protected override void OnStateChange()

if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
CumDelta = pjsCumDelta(param1, param2, param3, true,true,true,true,false,true,true, 0 , false,false, false, false, false);
}

if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{

Swing1 = Swing(Close, SwingStrength);
PriceActionSwing1 = PriceActionSwing(Close, SwingStyle.Standard, 7, 20, false, SwingLengthStyle.Ticks,
SwingDurationStyle.Bars, true,false, false, SwingTimeStyle.False,
SwingVolumeStyle.Absolute, VisualizationStyle.Dots_ZigZag, textFont, 15, 30, 45,
60, 75, 90,NinjaTrader.Gui.DashStyleHelper.Solid, 3, true, true);
PriceActionSwingOscillator1 = PriceActionSwingOscillator(Close, SwingStyle.Standard, 7, 20, false,
Show.Volume, true, true, true);
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

// Checks to ensure there are enough bars before beginning
if (CurrentBars[BarsInProgress] <= 1
|| CurrentBars[BarsInProgress] < 20)
return;

Print("Time: " + Time[0] + " |Number: " + CurrentBar + " | DB: " + PriceActionSwing1.DoubleBottom[0] +
" | DT: " + PriceActionSwing1.DoubleTop[0] + " | HH: " + PriceActionSwing1.HigherHigh[0] +
" | HL: " + PriceActionSwing1.LowerHigh[0] + " | LL: " + PriceActionSwing1.LowerLow[0] +
" | LH: " + PriceActionSwing1.LowerHigh[0] + " | VH: " + PriceActionSwingOscillator1.VHigh[0] +
" | VL: " + PriceActionSwingOscillator1.VLow[0] +
" | pjs0Bal: " + CumDelta.Plot0balance[0] +
" | pjs3BBal: " + CumDelta.Plot3barbalance[0]);
}

..."

Finally, I am not a programmer (think C# for dummies and then dumb it down) so I am sure there are better ways of doing the above and I welcome anyone to suggest a better way of doing the above (that actually compiles), but this should get you going faster than the 2 months I have been screaming at my screen.

Could someone please help?

First, in an NT7 strategy, how would I write a condition to check that a) the oscillator is green/positive and b) has just turned green? I tried VHigh>0 (PriceActionSwingOscillator(20, 7, PriceActionSwing.Base.SwingStyle.Standard, false).VHigh[0] > 0) and got an error.

Second, is there an explanation somewhere of all of this, especially how the oscillator changes? Watching real-time, for instance if it is green, before it turns permanently red I see red bars or a red line superimposed on the green bars. Is that VLowCurrent, and what causes the histogram to finally flip permanently red in a couple of bars?

Does anyone know if there is a version of PAS based on the highest/lowest bar close rather than the high/low of a bar? If not, can anyone suggest a rather simple code change that I can modify to accomplish this? Thanks.

Hi Wilson,
There is a tickbox in the parameters to use close values. See the attached image.

With so many options now and my CSS disease, I couldn't see it. Thanks Guy!

I tried downloading the following indicator but get the following error. Is there a PriceActionSwing utility file that I need to download? or if someone can point me in the right direction of the latest paint bar for the PriceActionSwing NT7 would be greatly appreciated.

5th line down. That link takes you to the NT7 version of the indicator.

What you showed was a *.cs file. I would think that you need the whole indicator (which that is not).
