Hi... after much help (and patience) from power users on this board, I was able to get an indicator seemingly working. I say seemingly because it runs without error, but with unexpected results. I'm running the indicator in market analyzer to generate alerts. I get an alert on a stock that doesn't match the conditions described in my code. To debug it, I added a print statement just before I set the indicator value to 1 (which is what my alert condition checks for) and the symbol that generates the alert never hits the print line or breakpoint when I debug it. What DOES print out, as well as hit the breakpoint is two different symbols that do indeed match the code conditions, but these don't throw alerts. So close, yet so far. Any help would be awesome... here's the code:
Code:
public class RetraceToEMA112712 : Indicator
{
#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private int fastMA = 10; // Default setting for FastMA
private int medMA = 20; // Default setting for MedMA
private int slowMA = 50; // Default setting for SlowMA
// User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
#endregion
/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
Overlay = false;
Add(PeriodType.Day,1);
}
/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
for (int index = 0; index < BarsArray.Length; index++)
{
if (CurrentBars[index] < (slowMA+12)) return;
}
if(BarsInProgress==0)
{
//Check for uptrend
int uptrendCheckCount = 0;
int countOfClosesOverSlowEma = 0;
double keyPriceViolationLevelPriorDay = EMA(Closes[1],slowMA)[0]*1.0025;
double keyPriceViolationLevelToday = EMA(Closes[1],slowMA)[0] + Math.Abs(EMA(Closes[1],slowMA)[0] - EMA(Closes[1],slowMA)[1]);
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
{
if((EMA(Closes[1],fastMA)[i] >= EMA(Closes[1],medMA)[i]) && (EMA(Closes[1],medMA)[i] >= EMA(Closes[1],slowMA)[i]))
{
uptrendCheckCount++;
}
if(Closes[1][i+1] >= EMA(Closes[1],slowMA)[i+1])
{
countOfClosesOverSlowEma++;
}
}
if((countOfClosesOverSlowEma==10)&&(uptrendCheckCount==10))
{
if(Lows[1][0] <= keyPriceViolationLevelPriorDay)
{
if((Close[0] > Open[0])&&(Close[0] > keyPriceViolationLevelToday))
{
Plot0.Set(1);
Print("Instrument: " + this.Instrument + ", Time: " + Time[0] + ", CurrentBars[0]: " + CurrentBars[0] + ", CurrentBars[1]: " + CurrentBars[1]);
}
}
}
}
}
}
