Just try different moving averages, start with EMA and SMA, it is nothing special.

if you ever have any tile or grout related q's, let me know and i would be happy to help you out!

thanks again. i would've never been able to figure out the change in code!

ok, i hacked in some code (6.5 VERSION) and was surprised that ninja didn't blow up on me

i was trying to have the color change when above the 10 line.

then change to a different color when below the -10 line.

the third color would be everything else.

any ideas?
thx!

You have now defined 5 plots. So the original plot will plot alongside with the new plots.

NinjaTrader 7 offers a more elegant way to color a PlotSeries. Just have one plot defined and then adapt the color, for example the code

 

Code

if (RSI(period, smooth)[0] < -10) PlotColors[1][0] = Color.Red

will color the current value of the plot number 1 red. This is recommended as it also colors the line between the current value at [0] and the prior value at [1].

ok thx Fat Tails.

the indicator i hacked up was for 6.5 (should've mentioned that in the prior post and will edit it to show) so it sounds like it will take more work to make it work for 6.5.


i will use your idea for 7.

ok, so here is some code that i know won't work but hopefully it will explain what i'm looking for: this is for 6.5 but if N7 is better for this, i wouldn't complain

basically looking for a "cross back below the 10 line" and "cross back above the -10 line"


also, can anyone tell me if using the "CurrentBar.ToString" uses alot of CPU which may bog the chart down?

thx!

 

Code

double rsi = avgDown[0] == 0 ? 100 : 100 - 100 / (1 + avgUp[0] / avgDown[0]); rsi = rsi - 50; double rsiAvg = (2.0 / (1 + Smooth)) * rsi + (1 - (2.0 / (1 + Smooth))) * Avg[1]; Avg.Set(rsiAvg); Value.Set(rsi); if (rsi[1] > 10 && rsi[0] < 9.95) { DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString() + "high", 0, High[0] + 4 * TickSize, Color.Red); } if (rsi[1] < -10 && rsi[0] > -9.95) { DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString() + "low", 0, Low[0] -4 * TickSize, Color.Blue); }

Just from looking at the code: rsi is a variable of type double, so rsi[1] does not exist. If it is indexed, it is supposed to be a DataSeries. In this case you may try

 

Code

if (Value[1] > 10 && rsi < 9.95)

Not tested.

If you want to display all the dots, you need to identify each of them via a different string, so your approach is appropriate. That will indeed create a huge CPU load, which is a problem. Possible solution: only display the dots for a limited lookback period, for example

 

Code

if (Time[0] > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3) && Value[1] > 10 && rsi < 9.95)

Again, not tested.

Or use a dot plot instead of draw objects.

ok,

here is some code that compiles fine. can you tell me if this is going to use alot of CPU?

thx! v6.5

 

Code

Avg.Set(rsiAvg); Value.Set(rsi); // ABOVE 10 LINE CONDITIONS if (Time[0] > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2) && Value [1] > 10 && rsi < tenLine) { DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString() + "high", 0, High[0] + 14 * TickSize, Color.Blue); } // ABOVE 0 LINE CONDITIONS if (Time[0] > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2) && Value [1] > 0 && rsi < zeroLine) { DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString() + "high", 0, High[0] + 12 * TickSize, Color.Black); } // BELOW -10 LINE CONDITIONS if (Time[0] > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2) && Value [1] < -10 && rsi > - tenLine) { DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString() + "high", 0, Low[0] - 14 * TickSize, Color.Blue); } // BELOW 0 LINE CONDITIONS if (Time[0] > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2) && Value [1] < 0 && rsi > - zeroLine) { DrawDot(CurrentBar.ToString() + "high", 0, Low[0] - 12 * TickSize, Color.Black); } Print(rsi);

This code should not use a lot of CPU. But if you want to know, you can download Process Explorer from the Microsoft website and watch it running.

On Monday morning, you won't probably see any dots for Friday, so you may even increase your lookback period from 2 to 3 days.

i didn't see a quick link or check box to say thanks so i'm writing it here.

THANKS Fat Tails!

this stuff is addicting!
