Can you tell me what I have wrong on this?

[drmax]

I used the wizard to try to set up this simple PPO crossover strategy long and short. I wanted it to plot an up arrow on cross above PPO and down for cross below PPO. (settings 9,45,9). Arrows won't plot

For example here http://screencast.com/t/ZGUzN2M3N2Et


Can someone point out my error(s) and (please) correct? I appreciate it a lot.

Hi drmax,

The syntax for the DrawArrowUp() method is...

DrawArrowUp(string tag, bool autoScale, int barsAgo, double y, Color color)

For your y value, I see you have a zero, which will plot it at a price value of zero. You can try something like High[0], for example, instead.

Thanks...

It's beyond me to figure this out I think. Have been working at it for hours. Can you please fix it for me? I would appreciate it very much.

Hi drmax,

Unfortunately, I cannot debug or write this for you. I am willing to lead you down the right path, however...

In this example, a "y" value is entered so that the diamond is drawn at the High of the current bar, plus one tick.

In this example, a crossover condition is created.

is this an issue?

Simple crossover of 2 EMA seems clear to me, thanks

PPO, the indicator I'm working with has 2 lines.

One instance of PPO for example has

So how can you have that crossing above or below another instance of

Hi drmax,

The fast and slow period are actually used for internal calculations.

The PPO actually has two lines, one default plot and another titled "Smoothed". The Smoothed line is the other line you are seeing in the plot, known as the signal line.

More info at - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...eOscillatorPPO

To set a condition where the default PPO lines crosses below the signal Smoothed line, you can select the plot from the condition parameters.

Please see the attached screenshot.
