Prior Day Close at a specific time

[cre8it8]

I have been trying to make an indicator that makes a pivot line at a specific close time from a previous day. I was working off of Ninja Trader Ray's Reference Sample "Calculating the highest high and the lowest low for a specified time range." I got it to do the pivot line at the close of an exact time put it didn't carry it over into the next day. Also, I only want it to go back to the prior day. Is there an easy fix that I can add to the program that Ninja Trader Ray did? His sample is located in the Reference Samples section. I tried to Frankenstein the Prior OHLC indicator with it but to no avail.

As always your help is greatly appreciated.

Just persist your calculated out value and set it to the plot whenever you want this value to display.

Hi Josh. I am an amateur at this so I have no idea what you just said. Any way you can give me an example?

Thank you.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Sure. Take a variable and save out the value as calculated in Ray's example. When you have a plot you are setting the value at some point in time. For example you may be doing Plot0.Set(Close[0]);. Just have it set to the variable you stored earlier.

Plot0.Set(someVariable);

I will check into that. You are always huge help. Thanks.

I am still having problems getting this to work. I just need to be able to plot a pivot line starting from 16:15 the previous day's close thru the current day and then do it again each following day. Can you offer some more advice?

cre8it8,

To add a line you want to go to your indicator and do Add(new Plot(.....)) in your Initialize() method. If you need an example of the exact syntax here you can open up any other indicator to take a look at how they do it. Then in your OnBarUpdate() all you need to do is Value.Set() and put in the value as you calculated it.

Thanks for trying to help. I can't get it to work. I can get a line from 16:15 on but it deletes at the start of the new day. Then when I tried to get it to carry forward to the next day I just got a line that went from the beginning of the chart to the end over several days. So my solution is to use the Constant Line Indicator and manually put in the number each day. Later I will pay someone to make it automatic. Thanks again for trying to help.

Hi Josh. I tried emailing you privately but it wouldn't let me so this is the only way I know how to get in touch with you.
I may have a huge problem. I imported you Adaptive CCI Indicator and then I made a Strategy out of it and now I can not Import or export any Indicators or Strategies and I can not delete any of them or change them. I get the following message when I try to compile your Adaptive CCI. I love the Indicator, it's amazing, but I really need your help so that my system isn't stuck. It is very possible that I screwed it up some how or that it is an easy fix but I tried everything I know, which isn't much.Here is the list of errors

the type or namespace name 'Adaptive CCI Plots' could not be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Thanks
Robert

cre8it8,

Adaptive CCI is not my indicator. You will want to contact the original author, Gumphrie.

Do not compile the indicator. Just go to Tools->Edit NinjaScript->Indicator and delete the Adaptive CCI. If you can't delete the indicator you need to delete the strategy or anywhere else you referenced the indicator first.
