Signal Trouble

[cre8it8]

Hi. Can you tell me how to get this to only play the sound when the conditions are met for both the ES 1 min. and ES 3 min. simultaneously. Right now it plays when either the ES 1 min meets the conditions or the 3 min does individualy or both. I hope that makes sense and you can help me.
Thank You!

Hello,

Try something like this:

// Add an ES 12-08 3 minute Bars object to the strategy
Add("ES 12-08", PeriodType.Minute, 1);


// Add an ES 12-08 3 minute Bars object to the strategy
Add("ES 12-08", PeriodType.Minute, 3);


CalculateOnBarClose = false;
}
///<summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
///</summary>
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{

if(BarsInProgress == 0)
return;
if(BarsInProgress == 1)
return;
// Condition set 1
if (EMA(BarsArray[1], 14)[0] > SMA(BarsArray[1], 20)[0]
&& MACD(BarsArray[1], 12, 26, 9)[0] > MACD(BarsArray[1], 12, 26, 9).Avg[0]

&& EMA(BarsArray[2], 14)[0] > SMA(BarsArray[2], 20)[0]
&& MACD(BarsArray[2], 12, 26, 9)[0] > MACD(BarsArray[2], 12, 26, 9).Avg[0]))
{
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\beep.wav");
}

Looks like I am about to learn something new. Thanks for your help. I think this will work great!

Adding Conditions and Open and Close

The Condition 1 of the formula you gave me worked great but when I tried to add a Condition 2, as indicated below, only Condition 1 worked. Is there something I need to add when adding a Condition 2 or is it better just to make a whole new complete strategy? Also I wanted to add
&& Open[0] < Close[0] for each insturment on both conditions but it said that it was wrong. Is there a special way to write the code for those with BarsArray?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,


Your code should work fine. Are you sure the condition was met? If so, try using Print() before the PlaySound in the new condition. This link will help:

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3418

To get Open[0] < Close[0] try using something like this:

Open[1][0] < Close[1][0]

and

Open[2][0] < Close[2][0]

You have been a huge help, THANK YOU!

I am going to try this. I read the info on the link and I think that
Open[1] [0] or Close[1][0]
on multi instruments has to be writen in the plural form
Opens and Closes but not for the Open[0] or Close[0]. It wouldn't let me compile without an error until I wrote it plural. I am going to test everything tomorrow to see if it works.
Thanks again.

cre8it8,

That is correct. Typo on our end. You want to use Closes and Opens with the "s".

Thank you!
