Indicator ploted on CCI zero line

[dwalls]

Yeah...that worked.
So far, So Good.
Yes, I had the plots properly in the Properties region.

Thanks for all your help.

I have another issue to work out. But I will start a new thread for that.


Thanks again.

Well, I will post this here because it has to do with the CCI zero line.

For Condition1 I am trying to do this,
If the "MACDEMA" (which is the same as the MACD smooth line) is above the zero line and rising, plot green to the zero line, and
If the "MACDEMA" is above the zero line and falling, plot yellow to the zero line.

If the "MACDEMA" is below the zero line and falling, plot red to the zero line, and If the "MACDEMA" is below the zero line and rising, plot yellow.

I only use this MACDEMA because I dont know how to plot the MACD smooth line. It seems to work ok. If you know how to plot MACD smooth line..ok to use it instead.

I added one new color plot "ZeroYellow"...maybe I need two yellows.

I just tried starting with this to get something to work, but it wont work,
I get the CS1502 error message...plus I dont know if I can use the ">" or "<" in this condition...I dont know.


if (Rising(MACDEMA(9)[0]>0))ZeroGreen.Set(0); else ZeroYellow.Set(0); //Plot to Zero Line
if (Falling(MACDEMA(9)[0]<0))ZeroRed.Set(0); else ZeroYellow.Set(0); //Plot to Zero Line

Thanks

You need to break apart your () to see.

(Falling(MACDEMA(9)[0]<0))

Your condition should read

if (Falling(MACDEMA(9)) && MACDEMA(9)[0] < 0)

Great! Got it.

Thanks

Plot Draw Object on Indicator

Does anyone know how I could plot a Draw Object: Arrow, Dot, Diamond etc. right on the CCI indicator itself (say in Panel 2) instead of the price panel (Panel 1) and on a price bar?
Example:
(OnBarUpdate)
if (Condition, maybe other than CCI Condition)
Plot a Dot above/below CCI bar (or plot a Draw Object/dot on zeroline)

Could I edit this to CCI bar somehow?
DrawDiamond("Up Diamond" + CurrentBar, 0, SMA(20)[0], Color.Blue);

Also do I need something in (Initialize)?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

You will want to set DrawOnPricePanel = false. That will push your draw objects to your indicator panel.

[dwalls]

Thanks Josh,
I know about the DrawOnPricePanel = false. Thanks
Is there anyway to plot this on the zeroline?
DrawDiamond("Up Diamond" + CurrentBar, 0, CCI(14)[0], Color.Blue);
This plots a Diamond at the close of the CCI bar value, which is great.
But, how can I plot this on the zeroline?
Do I maybe change the (+ CurrentBar) to something else?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

You would do that by changing the y-value it is plotted on. Currently you are plotting on a y-value of CCI(14)[0] which is why you see it on your CCI bar. If you want it on zero change that to 0.

DrawDiamond("Up Diamond" + CurrentBar, true, 0, 0, Color.Blue);

Plot drawtext for price

Hello,
I would like to plot the price, on the price panel, at the point of a crossabove or crossbelow condition.
Example:
if (CrossAbove "condition")
Draw or plot the price at the point of crossabove to the price bar.
Do I use something like:

DrawText("CurrentPrice"+CurrentBar, "CurrentPrice", 0, High[0]+5* TickSize, Color.Red);

or how would I plot the price of the CrossAbove?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Not sure I follow. Isn't that what your picture is already showing?

[dwalls]

Thats just a picture to show you what I would like to do, but dont know how to do it...yet. I need some help.

Thanks

Fill out the various parameters to what you want.
DrawText("CurrentPrice"+CurrentBar, Close[0].ToString(), 0, High[0]+5* TickSize, Color.Red);

Josh,
Thanks for all your help.
I got it to work.


Thanks
