VSA Indicator - Beta

[richbois]

(1) Is there a way to move the colored boxes, diamonds, and triangles further away from the candlesticks they are reporting on. They are so close that they are covering and touching the candlestick wicks and make it impossible to read the candlestick. Is there a parameter I can adjust to change their location. (2) Also, could someone point me to a manual or good description of how this VSA indicator functions? I don't mean the VSA theory, but exactly what the indicator is doing when it places the colored boxes, and when it changes the text in the large white text boxes(the ones that often cover too much of the chart). For example, are these large white text boxes reporting on the last bar on the chart, or are they just informational FAQs that pop up at random.

Hi yes it can be done but it is not as easy as it looks

In the variable section you need to add a new variable

in my case after line 61 i added
privateint dist = 5;


then goto property section

after the 3 Values section at line 945 in original script

add this
[Description("Distance")]
[Category("Parameters")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayNameAttribute("Shape Distance")]
publicint Dist
{
get { return dist; }
set { dist = Math.Max(1, value); }
}


then you need to go to the Shape section and change each line of code and remove the 2 and replace it by dist like in this example

if (isUpThrustBar[0] && !isNewConfirmedUpThrustBar[0])
{
DrawSquare("MySquare" + CurrentBar, true, 0, High[0] + dist * TickSize, Color.Red);
}



I hope that helps as now you can pick in the parameters what distance you want

if this is too complicated than go in the Shape section and just change the 2 for any number you want than it will be fixed

good luck

Richbois, thanks...this is what I was looking for, though I was hoping the adjustments might be done from inside NinjaTrader. Could you tell me exactly where to find the variables section, the property section, and the shape section. I have 9 .cs files and I looked in the longest one called VPA .cs but the lines aren't numbered, so that must be the wrong place to look. I also don't know if this is the original script...do you know where that is available? John

Yes in the VPA.CS file

You will see the sections I am talking about at or close to the line ##s I quoted

To do that you need to go to tools then edit ninja script then indicator from there select the VPA one.

By using the Ninja script indicator edit feature you will be able to see all the numbered lines and add the lines required to have your boxes further on your chart.

Good luck

Hi everyone!

I am using NT 7 V 1000.5. When I try to import the the indicator I am getting a message " Import failed. The NinjaScript Arichive File may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your PC or there is a required file missing on either your PC or in the import archive."

How do I get this indicator to work. Help would be appreciated. Thanxs

hi
I have found the paid version http://www.tradeguider.com/addins/ninja.aspx, this addition costs money or it works also as the indicator on this thread?

Me too. I have the VPA indicators for earlier versions of NT and there has been some code changes in NT 7 that prevent it from working. I think there's a number of people who would appreciate a workable version of VPA for NT 7, if there's someone who is willing to reprogram it.

Hi,

Can't find the VPA indicator that works with NT7 so I modify the original one. Enjoy

Hi Trader2010a,

Great indicator, thanks, do you have any trading strategy info for this indicator? It's a lot more complete than the previous version.
Thanks in advance,

Is there a "symbol key" that explains what each symbol means, so that I can decipher the chart?

Hello John,

Look at the picture and the attached file in post #104 below.

[StockJock]

Thanks. I missed that. I can see that there's a little problem distinguishing between the Red Square and the Deep Pink Square; also between the Lime Up Triange and the Aqua Up Triangle. In these cases, its necessary to consider where they are located to confirm the information the symbol is trying to convey.

Thanks

Is there a doc or legend that describes the symbols on the VPA indicator...

[Janbee]

Any guide how to use this indicator?
