Need help to create an up/down arrow in panel 1(price/candle area)

September 27th, 2009, 08:33 PM

Hi, guys:

Is it possible that some one help me or give me an idea, how to create an up/down arrow or dot when all the my indicator's criteria combined together? For example:

1. _ECO2new_paintbars_sharkypkd_2 zero1>5
2. Obvdiver>0
3. _Zeller_sharkfin_paintbars (close, 34) is green

when all above criteria combines together, the ninjatrader show me an up green arrow below the price candle bar?

I am not a programmer, really need to help, cause I can not catch the breakout using my eyes, sometimes I still need my indicators to confirm.

if any one can help me out, that will be great.

Hello, I too am not a programmer but I think I can give an idea for the construction of your indicator

Code

#region Variables
private Color             barColorUp_ST            = Color.Blue;
private Color             barColorDown_ST        = Color.Red;

private BoolSeries       condizione1;
    #endregion

 protected override void Initialize()
        {
condizione1 = new BoolSeries(this);
}

 protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
           
    
                        
            
             if(CurrentBar > 1)
            {    follow code indicator......

               ..............
               ..............

 condizione1.Set(_ECO2new_paintbars_sharkypkd_2 zero1[0] >5 && Obvdiver[0]>0 && ect ect for all condition);

//*******************************************************************

if(condizione1[0])
                    
                    {
                    
                       DrawArrowDown("ShortS"+CurrentBar.ToString(), 0, High[0] + Mult*TickSize, barColorDown_ST);
                     
                                                                    
                }  else if(!condizione1[0])    
                    {
                   
                     RemoveDrawObject("ShortS" + CurrentBar);
                   
                }                        
}
repeat the same process for the long condition
}

  #region Properties

[XmlIgnore()]
        [Description("Color of up bars.")]
        [Category("Visual")]
        [Gui.Design.DisplayNameAttribute("01. Up color_ST")]
        public Color BarColorUp_ST
        {
            get { return barColorUp_ST; }
            set { barColorUp_ST = value; }
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// </summary>
        [Browsable(false)]
        public string barColorUp_STSerialize
        {
            get { return NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.ToString(barColorUp_ST); }
            set { barColorUp_ST = NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.FromString(value); }
        }
        
        /// <summary>
        /// </summary>
        [XmlIgnore()]
        [Description("Color of down bars.")]
        [Category("Visual")]
        [Gui.Design.DisplayNameAttribute("02. Down color_ST")]
        public Color BarColorDown_ST
        {
            get { return barColorDown_ST; }
            set { barColorDown_ST = value; }
        }
        
        /// <summary>
        /// </summary>
        [Browsable(false)]
        public string barColorDown_STSerialize
        {
            get { return NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.ToString(barColorDown_ST); }
            set { barColorDown_ST = NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.FromString(value); }
        }

Obviously, this code is not complete, the indicators and the actual conditions should be included. I also ask for help when I can,but I try there the same, at times I succeed a lot of others no.

alex123,

You need to create an indicator that calls the other three indicator outputs as inputs and simply compare them to determine if an arrow should be displayed.

I would build a strategy doing the comparison first. Then look at the constructed code to create the new indicator.

Thank you very much Mauro 60 and Rjay, I will try your idea, see if it works.
