Parallel Close Slopes

March 24th, 2013, 02:16 PM

Hi,

I'm just learning to put together some Ninjatrader Indicators and I'm experimenting with the following:

I'm trying to have an indicator identify the difference between Close[0] & Close[1] (Slope), find all equal instances of that Slope and Draw Lines where there are parallell slopes.

I guess I have to use a FOR loop and a DataSeries:

My first attempt looks like this:

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

myDataSeries.Set(Math.Abs(Close[0] - Close[1]));

int i;

for (i = 0; i < 256; ++i)
{

if ((Close[0] - Close[1]) == myDataSeries[i])
{
DrawExtendedLine("Slope" + Time, false, 1, Close[1], 0, Close[0], Color.Green, DashStyle.Dash, 2);	

}
}

Shouldn't that do something or am I missing a concept as nothing appears and I'm using SVLC Weekly Data which contains 2 sets of parallell slopes.

Close[0] - Close [1] = .11
Close[1] - Close [2] = .11

Close[7] - Close [8] = .08
Close[12] - Close [13] = .08

Thanks for any help.
