Anybody want to help with a super simple favor?

NinjaScripters,

Don't suppose one of you coders would be willing to bang out a no brainer (I'm pretty sure this would be simple) for me? I'm looking for an "indicator" that will draw a dot or arrow under/over a candle that closes in the top or bottom 25% of the candle's range?

Doesn't hurt to ask right?

Hello JDog42,

Thank you for your post.

We do not provide programming services for our users. This does appear to be a fairly simple idea and would be a great example for you to learn NinjaScript (if you are interested).

I should be able to provide you with the code for this, however I need you to define and clarify what the candle's range is and how this is determined for your indicator.

PatrickH,

First of all I would love to learn Ninjascript, and would be very interested in where and how to get some of the basics and beyond. I define the range as the High and the Low of the bar. If the bar closes UP then it's: ((Close - Low)/Range) > 75 would be in the top 25%- plop a dot or arrow BELOW the UP bar. Flip it all around for a DOWN bar. I'm currently using a 1 for the "K" period on a fast stochastic which gives me the same formation, but it's not where or how I want the information visually.

What's a good name for this?

You mean for the indicator? "JBar"

I guess I should have used >= and <= .. it's currently using > or <.

so use 26% instead of 25%, or change the code on the check.

WHAT THE.... Are you kidding me?!?!? Do you sneeze code or something?!?!? Dude, you had this done before I hit send to my original request!

Brother Sledge Rocks...

Thank you!

Perfect... From here I want to see if I can manage some simple conditioning to clean up the frequency of occurrence.
