Hi Josh,
I am trying to create an indicator which is the Stochastics of the CCI. I was able to create all the parameters from the wizzard but when I get to the code portion i'm not sure where to insert the code from the CCI and the Stochastics. I guess I have to insert the CCI code...
Thanks

Hi designer,
First you will have to create a DataSeries object, because the Stochastics takes only a DataSeries input. In the Variables section add

 private new DataSeries cciValue;

Then in the Initialize add

 cciValue = new DataSeries(this);

Then you can use the Set() method to fill the DataSeries in the OnBarUpdate section

 cciValue.Set(CCI(Close, MyPeriod)[0]);

Finally you can create your Stochastic CCI calculation

 double stochCCI = Stochastics(cciValue, MyPeriodD, MyPeriodK, MySmoothingPeriod)[0];

Thanks,
Do you suggest a similar indicator I can use as a template for the NT code?

Hi designer,

Please check out the following thread, the indicator posted there should give a good starting point for what you want to do -

Would I be able to use the StochRSI code (attached)and just replace RSI with CCI in the code?
Thanks

I don't see why not. It should work fine. I have replaced RSI with CCI in indicators before and it was very simple and effective.

Hi,

Yes, this indicator can easily be modified to produce a Stochastic CCI.

Your minimum, maximum and rsi sets would then look like this -

minimum.Set( MIN(CCI(PeriodRsi), LookBack)[0]);
maximum.Set( MAX(CCI(PeriodRsi), LookBack)[0]);
rsi.Set( CCI(PeriodRsi)[0]);

Of course for better style you would want to change the PeriodRSI variable name into PeriodCCI (in the Variables and Properties sections), same with the rsi.Set dataseries.

Thanks,
I was able to paste your CCI code as shown below (see attachment) then i saved it but when I try to import the saved file into the chart i do not see it in the Indicators list...please check if i placed in the right location.
Thanks

Save this file in

My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom\Indicator

Then in NT select, Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator and select this indicator.
Then compile it by pressing the F5 key in the Editor.
Now this indicator will be available in NT.

Ray thanks I did as sugested but get the following errors in lines 50-56
Error CS0103

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

You would then have to debug the error, I would not know what the problem is since its not my code.

Here is a help resource that may provide some guidance - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3418

Hi designer,

Please check out this debugged and commented code of the StocCCI and let me know if you have questions.
