NT code problem

October 26th, 2012, 08:44 PM

Greetings. New to the forum, hello all. New to attempted scripting in NT as well.Trying to find a piece of code that will allow me to condense the many lines I have compiled, saying for example, && CCI (50) [0]<CCI (50) [1]...right up to say [20]. Have ordered the C# Dummies book, but not arrived yet. All help appreciated.

Not 100% sure what you are specifically asking in relation to the CCI, but I think you want to know how to loop, something like for (C# Reference)

Why don't you post the code?

Highlight the code and then select "#" from the upper task bar.

With the information you have given us so far, nobody can help you.

I am new to C# and NinjaScript, but I think that you are looking for something like this.

Code

    public class MyCustomIndicator : Indicator
    {
        #region Variables
        // Wizard generated variables
            private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
        // User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
		
		private double minCCI;
		
        #endregion


        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
           
			// Find the lowest value of the 50 period CCI over the last 20 bars
			// This won't change,so only calculate once to improve performance
			if (FirstTickOfBar)
			{
				minCCI = MIN(CCI(50), 20)[0];
			}
			
			// Test each new tick to see if a new low has been found
			if (CCI(50)[0] < minCCI)
			{
				Print("New low found in CCI");
			}
			
        }

Not too sure how any of this works yet, the forum, and not sure of what you mean by '#' at the task bar Fat Tails, but have taken a snipp of the code and attached it.

So with my small amount of knowledge I know that this is redundant. I have to write a line for each of the look back periods, where I want the indicator to be clear of. In this case, the MACD at a certain setting, has to be clear of itself for 17 bars back. In other words, if this current bar is not the highest during the look back period...1 to 17....a line will not be drawn over price. Hope that helps ?

You could use something like this:

Code

bool validFlag = true;
for (int i = 1; i <= 17; i++)
{
	if !(MACD(3, 10,16)[0] > MACD(3, 10,16)[i])
	{
		validFlag = false;
		break;
	}
}
if (validFlag == true)
{
	EnterLong();
}

Hi again Gregid. I tried your suggestion every which way, but the compiler just kept generating errors. Being new, I am assuming the 'bool validFlag and for(int" ...the first two lines, go in the initialize section of the editor. The 'if' statement goes under the 'OnBarUpdate' area. In a few months I'll look back and laugh, but for now, all help appreciated

The whole block goes into OnBarUpdate.
Posting a screenshot of the errors along with the code generating the errors makes finding the problem much easier.
