i am trying to create a strategy that uses a indicator within a indicator but i cant seem to do that in ninjatrader strategy development wizard can someone show me how? some examples to show you what i mean

example 1:
MACD indicator itself consists of two indicates within it, the smoothing fast EMA and slow EMA how to i create a strategy that buys when there is a cross of the two

example 2 :
Aroon indicator consists of two components, the aroon up and the aroon down how do i reference a cross in the two

providing pictures will really help
thanks in advance

Use the Plot:



Try these steps for an indicator in an indicator, but it seems it's not what you're looking for.

This is how you would do that in the source code :

 

Code

myCCI = WoodiesCCI(2, 5, 50, 34, 25, 6, 60, 100, 2); myCCIEMA34 = EMA (myCCI,34);

The first line creates a CCI, the second line creates an average 34 (ema) on the woodies, to smoothen it.

This would go in the Initialiaze () of your strategy

 

Code

protected override void Initialize() { myCCI = WoodiesCCI(2, 5, 50, 34, 25, 6, 60, 100, 2); myCCIEMA34 = EMA (myCCI,34); // added a 34 EMA on CCI }

You could then start using this in

 

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate() { if (myCCI[0] < myCCIEMA34[0] ) { // CCI is below it's 34 average // do something here... } }

hope this helps you..
wish you good trading

Hello,

is there somebody who can have a look on the attached indicator. It is compiled but from strange reason it is not taking value correctly.

I am not programer so I have only limited knowledge of C++.

I managed to change calculation of the CC and use it in different indicator. Basicly some sort of smoothing. The idea is to change color when CCI is going up or down if it exceed value set.

Idealy to have same color in background until set delta will indicate change and have arrow in input series as possible entry (this will be the next programing nut )

I tried some modifications but I am running in the circules

Your help is very appreciated in advance.

Thank you

Miroslav
