Custom RSI Development

[ginx10k]

Hello, I'm trying to first make an RSI that alerts when it's oversold or overbought by certain Levels. Instead of usual 70/30 I want 80/20 Overbought/Sold Levels.

So far I have this:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(RSI(5, 1).Avg, 80, 1))
{
Alert("MyAlert0", Priority.High, "RSI OVERBOUGHT", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}

// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(RSI(5, 1).Avg, 20, 1))
{
Alert("MyAlert1", Priority.High, "RSI OVERSOLD", "", 0, Color.White, Color.Black);
}


It's Not alerting me of anything. can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? or what I have to input so that it knows to use 80/20 and alert on the cross.

thanks so much.

Hello ginx10k,

The code for this looks correct.

Alerts only trigger with real-time data. Are you using the Market Analyzer to test this?

(I added this code to an indicator and applied this to the ES 06-14 1 Minute. Just a few moments ago the rsi dropped below 20 and I did receive an alert. This alert was at 8:34 MDT)

I did this in Strategy wizard, added the strategy to USD/JPY 1-min real time. and when it moved above 80, it didn't send alert.

The area where I placed the 80 and 20 in the code is that correct? does that represent the overbought or oversold??

why wouldn't this work on my chart, but works on yours.

Hi ginx10k,

As you had added this post to the Indicator Development section I assumed to put this code into an indicator.

Since you have this in a strategy, do you have the strategy enabled?
(Right-click chart -> Strategies... -> in the parameters is Enabled set to True?)

On the chart do you see a (D) in front of the strategy name (the D means Disabled).

Hi ginx10k,

You have already done this in the crossover conditions.

if (CrossAbove(RSI(5, 1).Avg, 80, 1))

if (CrossBelow(RSI(5, 1).Avg, 20, 1))

These are hard coded values and cannot be changed by the user.

If you want to be able to change them and have a default setting, then you need to create User Defined Inputs for these two values and then use the variable in place of the hard coded value.

The Automated Strategy Development Level 1 course goes over User Defined Inputs.

NOT able to PLOT RSI

Okay, so I tried to Plot the RSI on the chart by calling the

Add(RSI(RsiPeriod,RsiSmooth));

in the protected override void Initialize() area.

But I keep getting COMPILE Error. can someone please help me Plot the RSI indicator through my own Indicator. It's attached below

and this is Compile ERROR: http://screencast.com/t/woux1SfS

Ginx,

You cannot use the Add(Indicator); inside another Indicator. This is a Strategy method only.

You would need to create a data series that you can then pass through the RSI double values and then apply that to your plots.

Okay so can someone give me examples of how to do this exactly, as I'm still learning as much as I can, but can't get this to work.

Ginx,

Attached is an example

Overbought/Oversold Levels

Great example, however, since I literally don't know anything bout those oscillator indicator codes.

How do I go about plotting the Upper and Lower Levels. I tried the following code but keep getting errors. HELP Please!!

 protected override void Initialize() 
		{
			Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "RSIPlot"));
			Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkOrchid), 20, "Lower"));
            Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.MediumBlue), 80, "Upper"));
			RsiPlot = new DataSeries(this);
			
			Overlay				= true;
			CalculateOnBarClose = false;	
			

        }

		protected override void OnStartUp()
		{
			RSIPlot.Set(RSI(5,3)[0]);
		}
		
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			Lower.Set(RSI(5,3)[0]);
			Upper.Set(RSI(5,3)[0]);
			RSIPlot.Set(RSI(5,3)[0]);
		}
			
        #region Properties
        [Browsable(false)]	
        [XmlIgnore()]		
        public DataSeries RSIPlot
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }

		
		
        #endregion
    }

Ginx,

You won't be able to grab those upper and lower lines as those are plot lines that you can add.

Add(new Line(Color.Red, 70, "Upper"));

Take a look at the link below on some of the indicator ninjascript items available -

Ok, I'm confused, you said

that you can add.

Add(new Line(Color.Red, 70, "Upper"));

but I already added

Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.MediumBlue), 80, "Upper"));

and it's NOT plotting the Lines. So is there a way to place those lines or NOT. I need the Oversold and Overbought levels. That Link u gave didn't help at all.

Is there any way to get this done.

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

I would like to test this on my end,

Can you please provide a copy your code in the file format?
