price type code for indicatos

(login for full post details)

hi,
most of my programming experience was back in engineering school doing fortran.
so i have heard programming got alot easier since those days.

so is it possibel to explain step by step in detail to a newbie like me how to put the price type parameter in an indicator like the stochastics that comes with ninja or the stochastics_with smoothing which is available for download on the ninja_support site?

is it as simple as going to the editor in the ninja control center and opening the indicator and sticking some code in there OR could it be done with the ninja indicator wizard?

thanks

Try this. Open the Stochastics indicator for editing. Right click and Save As a different name. Add this in the Initialize section:

PriceTypeSupported = true;

Then look for this line:

nom.Set(Close[0] - MIN(Low, PeriodK)[0]);

and change the Close[0] to Input[0] so it looks like this:

nom.Set(Input[0] - MIN(Low, PeriodK)[0]);

Then right click, select compile, click OK and close the editor. Load the indicator on your chart and test it. Dan

Thank you eDanny, worked on the Stochastics and Stochastics with Smoothing indicators.

i have been trying duplicate the stochastics on another charting software, Ensign, that i use. Ensign has a little different terminology for the stochastics. but i think i have all the parameters set correct. i have them close now but still something is not quite the same...

hi eDanny,
does the code you mention in your post to me work for both Ninja 7 and 6.5 ?
i will give it a try..

ok, it seems to have worked ok with the "stochastics" indicator , that is compiled ok on ninja 7.
but the stochasticswithsmoothing indicator gives an error on compiling. even though i saved the indicator as stochasticswithsmoothing2, and only changed lines in the copy i saved.
neither stochasticswithsmoothing indicator will now compile.
perhaps because it wasnt converted to ninja7?

here is what the error looks like after compiled.
do you know how to fix it ?

here is a snapshot of the indicator with the error message.
i didnt realize the original didnt have an error message.

on the line 150, i had to change the MA_Type to MA_Type2
Thanks to Ninja support CAL.
then it compiled,
and i was able to add the two lines so that types of price type , hi, lo, close, open, median could be used to calc the indicator.
