Hi Josh,
I am trying to create an indicator which is the Stochastics of the CCI. I was able to create all the parameters from the wizzard but when I get to the code portion i'm not sure where to insert the code from the CCI and the Stochastics. I guess I have to insert the CCI code...
Thanks

Hi designer,
First you will have to create a DataSeries object, because the Stochastics takes only a DataSeries input. In the Variables section add

 private new DataSeries cciValue;

Then in the Initialize add

 cciValue = new DataSeries(this);

Then you can use the Set() method to fill the DataSeries in the OnBarUpdate section

 cciValue.Set(CCI(Close, MyPeriod)[0]);

Finally you can create your Stochastic CCI calculation

 double stochCCI = Stochastics(cciValue, MyPeriodD, MyPeriodK, MySmoothingPeriod)[0];

Thanks,
Do you suggest a similar indicator I can use as a template for the NT code?

Hi designer,

Please check out the following thread, the indicator posted there should give a good starting point for what you want to do -

Would I be able to use the StochRSI code (attached)and just replace RSI with CCI in the code?
Thanks

I don't see why not. It should work fine. I have replaced RSI with CCI in indicators before and it was very simple and effective.

Hi,

Yes, this indicator can easily be modified to produce a Stochastic CCI.

Your minimum, maximum and rsi sets would then look like this -

minimum.Set( MIN(CCI(PeriodRsi), LookBack)[0]);
maximum.Set( MAX(CCI(PeriodRsi), LookBack)[0]);
rsi.Set( CCI(PeriodRsi)[0]);

Of course for better style you would want to change the PeriodRSI variable name into PeriodCCI (in the Variables and Properties sections), same with the rsi.Set dataseries.

I don't see why not. It should work fine. I have replaced RSI with CCI in indicators before and it was very simple and effective.

Thanks,
I was able to paste your CCI code as shown below (see attachment) then i saved it but when I try to import the saved file into the chart i do not see it in the Indicators list...please check if i placed in the right location.
Thanks

Save this file in

My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom\Indicator

Then in NT select, Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator and select this indicator.
Then compile it by pressing the F5 key in the Editor.
Now this indicator will be available in NT.

You would then have to debug the error, I would not know what the problem is since its not my code.

Here is a help resource that may provide some guidance - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3418

Hi designer,

Please check out this debugged and commented code of the StocCCI and let me know if you have questions.
