Heiken-Ashi - Alert Development Question

[saintalan]

Chelsea, were you able to come up with a solution to this issue? ...

Thanks!

Hi Hawks and also my apologies to Chelsea.

Chelsea did offer to help with Remote Access but I was and still currently am not in a position to proceed.

I would be very happy if Chelsea could pick this up with you as I hope to be back soon.

Cheers

Alan

Chelsea, I've been interested in modifying the standard NT HA indicator so that its values could be accessible by a strategy. Posts in other threads by several folks including NinjaTrader_Josh indicated that the indicator as-is cannot be used by a strategy because it's a visual thing and not a real data thing, and that it had to be modified using a class (see here for the link Josh posted: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4991) in order for it to be used this way. Such development is far beyond my moderate coding skills, so I was replying to saintalan's post in the hopes that perhaps he and you had come up with something.

Hi hawks67,

That is not entirely true (at least for the version in NinjaTrader 7).

The HeikenAshi does have public dataseries that have the open, high, low, and close of the HeikenAshi bars.

For example:

Print(HeikenAshi(Input).HAHigh[0]);

This would print the HeikenAshi high.

Chelsea, I'm sorry if I misspoke. I meant that the data components of the HA (HAClose, etc) are not accessible to strategies.

Hello hawks67,

The HAClose, HAOpen, HALow, and HAHigh are all available to strategies.

Can you demonstrate that they are not?

Both the Heikin-Ashi indicator and the modified version which is available here

https://www.bigmiketrading.com/download/ninjatrader-7/indicators/467-download.html

have the values exposed via public properties and can be easily accessed by any strategy. This applies to both manually coded strategies and strategies built with the strategy wizard.

Hi hawks67,

Attached is an example that prints this information to the output window for the HeikenAshi indicator that is included with NinjaTrader.

This is to demonstrate this data is available.

To view the output, open the output window before running the strategy. (Tools -> Output Window().

Follow these steps to import the NinjaScript:

1. Download the script to your desktop, keep it in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical *Note that on any files that say "File already exists on your PC" that start with an "@" symbol are the ones that came preloaded inside of NinjaTrader so you would say "No" so that you do not override those files.

Thanks Chelsea and Harry.

The print works and I have used the wizard to create a simple Inside Bar identifier with the standard NT HA indi.

For info, it also works fine on HA over RENKO.

I am happy with that.

Cheers

Alan
