TSSuperTrend Strategy error

August 5th, 2010, 07:48 AM

Trying to use TSSuperTend in a Strategy… here is the code inserted by Strategy Builder…

if (TSSuperTrend(14, TSSuperTrend.Utility.MovingAverageType.SMA, 2.618, 14, TSSuperTrend.Utility.SuperTrendMode.ATR).UpTrend[0] > Close[0])
{
}

here is the error after compiling… “TSSuperTrend.Utility.SuperTrendMode)' is a method which is not valid in the given context”

Question: is there anyway to use TSSuperTend in a Stategy?

hey Azzzz,

first :

to futures.io (formerly BMT) with you first post here !

& to your topic :

i would have a look for TSsupertrend V2 or higher.

i thinks its arround here on futures.io (formerly BMT) - try the search upper right corner + choos "search for attachements"
or look in the downloadsection.

i remember there have been problems with strategy-functionality in the first one - so maybe thats what causes your problems too.

thats the first step i would recommend & try .

also have a look in the forum-trheads about SsuperTrend (via search) - there are more infos i think - because its no easy-to-use-indicator for strategys.

I had the same problem ..Try adding "TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility" to your using declarations....

BTW...can anyone show me how to"round to tick size" the indicator values in TSSupertrend...so that the indicator plots and values always show tick size increments...?

Give this a try:

if (TSSuperTrend(14, TSSuperTrend.MovingAverageType.SMA, 2.618, 14, TSSuperTrend.SuperTrendMode.ATR).UpTrend[0] < Close[0])
{
}

Definitely use the newest version, and there is a considerable thread on the NinjaTrader.com forums to resolve FAQ

I dont think the UpTrend is ever above the close, but the DownTrend always is ... or maybe I needed more sleep last night

AFAIK, dont use the 'Utility' in your 'if' condition

ps: Lost Trader was kind enough to post his strategy for TSST in nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) downloads (public) :

Download: TSS_Strategy

This is essentially my first strategy. It uses TSSuperTrend as an entry setup trigger and a trailing profit line. It was derived from dsraider's Advanced Sample Strategy and shares some of those traits. The inputs are profit target ticks, initial stop …

I havent gotten around to looking at it yet, but I am familiar with the framework he started from, so I think its worth a look

Azzzz,
I played around with it and got it to work.
Add "TSSuperTrend.Utility" to the declarations as pgabriel hinted at. But not TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.

Remove "TSSuperTrend.Utility" from the Add(...) statements and your if statements. That's the idea Trader.Jon was getting at. It should compile after that.

I attached the test file I was working with. Exported via 6.5.1000.16

I didn't realize a strategy existed for TSSuperTrend. I will check it out as well.

Jabeztrading,

I had trouble with this download. Kept getting error message "Import failed. There are NinjaScript files in the imported . . . that have programming errors. . . ."

I tried to implement the suggestion in your post, but it was already that way in the code. I also downloaded your attached TSS_SuperTrendStrategyTest.zip, but got the same error message.

Also, searched for TSSupertrend v2.3 but did not come across it in futures.io (formerly BMT) site. My version is 2.4, but there may be some internal code differences.

Any clue on how I can get through this issue?

Thanks,
John
