Need Help With UserDefinedMethods

[MyFirstMillion]

Hello

I would like to create a strategy that references another userdefined method. I have already looked at the available template and created a Class with Fibonacci variables. What I want to do is -

-Pass Point A and B to this Userdefined method
- Have the method return Fibonacci price levels.
-Repeat as time goes on.

How do I overload the userdefined method to keep updating the Fibonacci price levels? The function inside the method only returns a single variable. How do I make it return an entire list/array of price ratios back to my main strategy ?

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I would need to see what you have created so far to really explain this in context to what you have, but in general, you can make a method return whatever you want and take whatever input you need. This is a C# concept and not specific to NinjaScript.

Here is an example of a user-defined method that takes no input and just returns a list that contains a few values. This is simply to illuminate how the return works:

 partial class Strategy
{
    public [B]System.Collections.Generic.List<double>[/B] GetLevels()
    {
	[B]System.Collections.Generic.List<double> tempList = new System.Collections.Generic.List<double>();[/B]
	tempList.Add(2000);
	tempList.Add(2100);
	tempList.Add(2200);
	[B]return tempList;[/B]
    }
}

You can then configure overloads for your points whether that be bar or price information like the following:

partial class Strategy
{
    public System.Collections.Generic.List<double> GetLevels([B]double priceOne, double priceTwo[/B])
    {
	System.Collections.Generic.List<double> tempList = new System.Collections.Generic.List<double>();
	tempList.Add(priceOne);
	tempList.Add(priceOne + 10);
	tempList.Add(priceOne + 20);
	return tempList;
    }
}

You can modify the overloads to be whatever values you need to input, and the return value to whatever type of object you want back from calling the method.

From another strategy it would look like the following to call the method:

  protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	System.Collections.Generic.List<double> levels = GetLevels(Close[0], High[0]);
}

For each bar, the method is called and returns a new list of doubles.

you don't have to use a list either, whatever object is better for your goal. That could be a simple type like an int, or double, or a more complex type like a list or dictionary.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

You are the man! That's what I needed. Thank You. Ninjatrader support is the best. I wish there were more brokerages that used Ninjatrader platform. Do you know if there is anyway I can connect to Tradersway account through Ninjatrader?

Hello,

Thank you for the kind comment,

Unfortunately, I am unaware of any way this could be used with the platform currently but I will put in a feature request on your behalf.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
