Moving Average with Levels

[akushyn]

Hello,

I would like to use moving average indicator with levels, like you can see in attached document. How is it posible to do in NinjaTrader.

If its not supported , could you please advise some tips how to implement ones. Need to choose custom levels as properties for the indicator.

I am developer, so can understand what you write.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Akushyn,

Thank you for your note.

Yes, from what you are showing be and describing is possible.

With the plot class in NinjaScript, when you go to set the value of the plot you will need to add some values that will adjust that value based on the level you want to increase it.

The Bollinger indicator is a great example of how this is done with multiple plots and "Levels".

Let me know if this helps

[akushyn]

Ok).

Thanks for the quick reply.
I would like to use a lot of levels , let say 30 levels.

So, because of big count of the properties, I've tried to parse the string into int array and create plots dynamically.
And unfortunatelly it doesnt work (((

Coluld you please, check what is wrong . My .cs file in attachments.

You are doing this in Initialize()

for (int index = 1; index < convertedItems.Length; index++) 
            {
                Add(new Plot(ColorLevel, "Level" + index));    
            }

At that time, the array is not yet populated, so convertedItems.Length does not mean much in terms of iteration.

Akushyn,

I took a look and say that it has something to do with the convertedItems.
I cannot pinpoint the exact reason but possibly due to the array being set for it.

Thank you guys!

Now Its okay, I just initialize convertedItems in Initialize() method. May be, not good solution, but working.

Have another question (see in attached picture).
Lets say, if I have a lot of levels it will be not good looking in properties window...
That is why I just want draw levels on the chart but do not show in property list.

PlotsConfigurable = false;

Hello,

Its weard, I wrote a post and it looks like was deleted..
Anyway, ask the same again)))

To continue the question of the previous post, I would like to hide configuration of levels and show only configuration for main series. How is it possible to do?

I have tried to play with PlotsConfigurable like in example bellow, but no effect.

			[B][COLOR="blue"]PlotsConfigurable = false;[/COLOR][/B]

			// add levels plot dynamically
			for (int index = 1; index < convertedItems1.Length + 1; index++) 
				Add(new Plot(new Pen(LevelColor, 2), PlotStyle.Line, "Level" + index));
		
			[B][COLOR="Blue"]PlotsConfigurable = true;[/COLOR][/B]
			
			// add main plot
			Add(new Plot(new Pen(MainColor, 3), PlotStyle.Line, "Main"));

            Add(new Plot(new Pen(MainColor, 3), PlotStyle.Line, "Main"));

PlotsConfigurable is a global parameter. You cannot turn it on and off in the manner that you describe. It affects all Plots, always.

Hi Akushyn,

You will need to just have the PlotsConfigurable set to false and then create user defined variables that you can pass through the ones that you do want to configure.

User Defined Inputs
Color Defined Inputs

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you for the solution.
I did this way and it doesnt work.

I have more questions:
1) How to configure Label of the indicator? (would like to set programatically to be empty)
2) What property configure Price Markets?
3) When I change the color, no effect. How to fix it? (source code attached in .cs file)

See attached picture what I mean

Akushyn,

Try using this instead of passing it through the intialize -

Plots[0].Pen.Color = levelColor;

Ensure that you throw this in the OnBarUpdate Method. Note that the Plots is a indexed function just like the BarsArray, in which you will need to reference the correct plot.
