I would like to get the zig-zag indicator built into Ninja7 to show the data (price) labels at the turns. There is a property for showing the label - which I have changed from false to true.

Each day I record the turn points for the ES regular trading session - both price and time and enter them into a spreadsheet.

The setting on the attached graphs is what I use (all moves equal to or greater than 6pts and I use the high and low -not the close).

Currently, I use the data box window, place it over the turn point and manually record the info. (e.g H1266.25 at 11:56).

If the indicator can be easily be adjusted to out the turn point info (price and time) to a datafile that would be great .

Here are the graphs

you could extract the desired data by inserting a Print statement within your indicator where you want your data to come from, then:

• open the Output Window under Tools->Output Window
• reload your indicator
• Select all the text displayed in the Output Window (Ctrl+A)
• Copy selected data to clipboard (Ctrl+C)
• Open MS Excel an paste the data (Ctrl+V)
• in MS Excel under Tools select Text-to-Columns function and with Delimited option split data into columns where Delimter is Other, =

 

Code

if ( Time[0].DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday ) { Print ( "=ChartType=" + Bars.Period.Id + "." + Bars.Period.Value + "=Instrument=" + Instrument.FullName + "=Date=" + ToDay(Time[0]).ToString("0000/00/00") + "=Time=" + ToTime(Time[0]).ToString("00:00:00") /* BAR stats */ + "=Open=" + (Open[0]).ToString("0.0000") + "=High=" + (High[0]).ToString("0.0000") + "=Low=" + (Low[0]).ToString("0.0000") + "=Close=" + (Close[0]).ToString("0.0000") + "=VOL=" + VOL()[0].ToString() + "=Range=" + (High[0]-Low[0]).ToString("0.0000") // + "=Tick=" + Bars.TickCount.ToString() );

Thank you for the idea and the code.

I'll try it tomorrow - hopefully.

I'm not a prg but it looks good.

To moderator

not being a prg I have no idea if the code works or where to place it.
If you decide it answers the question please feel free to assign answer credits as you deem correct.

I didn't take a look at Zondor's modifications, here, but the original ZigZag_Sam_03 was able to write directly in a .csv file (search for csv in the file), so maybe it can help.
