Average Volume

[Jeff 15]

Can you tell me what I would need to add to the following code to recognize when volume has been below average over the past 10 bars.

if (CumulativeCurrentVolume(0)[0] < VOLMA(100)[1])
Do something

Also, where can I find a referance basic code that is used in Ninja Script like !=, ==, {}, return;, etc...

Thank you,

I'd do something like this:

counter = 0;
if (Volume[0] < VOLMA(100)[0])
   ++counter; //increment counter by 1
else
   counter = 0;
if (counter >= 10) {
   // volume has been below average for the last 10 bars.
}

Of course, you have to make sure counter is properly declared as an integer elsewhere in your indicator.

Also, where can I find a referance basic code that is used in Ninja Script like !=, ==, {}, return;, etc...

See the documentation. The version 6 help guide at the support center has a language reference. See http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/support.htm or pick up any book on C# (or Java).

Jeff,

As far as basic reference code for operators in your first post,

I found this helpful...

Error on Multi-time frame stategy

Thanks for all your help guys. I have another question on a Multi time frame strategy I cant seem to get fixed. Attached is some of the code I have so far. Ive tried everything I can think of. Maybe you can see what Im missing or point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Several bugs:
- probably should read Highs instead of High etc. (if you want to do a multi series strategy)
- you need to put brackets around your "paired" EnterLong statements like

if (condition)
{
      EnterLong(...);
      EnterLong(...);
}

There likely are a bunch more errors in your code. You need to click on each click which will bring you to the erroneous line where you can fix the bug.

Volume counter

I am currently working on a volume alert and using the attached code originally from post # 2 (Thanks to anachronist). I am having trouble with "counter" being recognized. Can you give me hint on where I may find some info on the "counter" and why it is not being recognized. Thank you,

Unfortunately we are unable to provide support down to the level of actual C# coding basics. However here is hint: any variable you use in C#/NinjaScript, needed to defined. In your case your variable "counter" needed to defined e.g. like this:

private double counter;

As last resort a certified NinjaScript consultant would be at help: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm

You're welcome. I didn't mention declarations and initializations in my previous example because it is assumed that folks in this forum are already familiar with C#. As stated in the previous reply, you must declare the variable counter before you use it. In the "variables" section of your code (near the top) you need the statement:

private int counter;

In the "initialization" section, you can put

counter = 0;

for the first initialization.

This isn't the place to get tutored on C# programming. I highly recommend you buy a good book on the subject or look at any number of online resources for teaching yourself C#. If you have questions about programming as it relates to NinjaTrader specifically, and not general C# programming, then this is where you ask.

Great advice from Alex

Thanks Alex,

I got a C# book, and after only a couple chapters I already understand a whole lot more.
Thank you for the advice,
Jeff
