Stochastic Alerts

[TomTrades]

Hello
I Have a request. I have been looking for a Stochastic with cross over alerts. One that will paint an up and down arrow on my chart near the price bars when the lines cross over. It seems simple enough that it must be out there already but I haven't been able to find it. And I know nothing about programming. Can someone please help me with it?
Thank you
Tom

Hi Tom, there are lots of scripts working with a stochastic setup shared here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...chastic&desc=1

You will likely be able to find a good starting point then for your own custom works.

As alternative start customizing the default Stochastics script, for example right click in it and select to 'Save as' under a new new (so you have a copy) and then add this snippet as last part in the OnBarUpdate() -

if (CrossAbove(K, D, 1))
				DrawArrowUp("upArrow" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Color.Blue);

This will draw an up arror on the price bar one tick below the low bar which produced the K,D crossover.

Thanks for the tip Bertrand. I will try it over the weekend.

Still need help.
That code didn't work. I created this code.

// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(Stochastics(3, 6, 3).K, Stochastics(3, 6, 3).D, 1))
{
DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Lime);
}

// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(Stochastics(3, 6, 3).K, Stochastics(3, 6, 3).D, 1))
{
DrawArrowDown("My down arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, 0, Color.Red);
}

With the help of strategy builder and it checked out OK but didn't plot on my chart.
Any suggestions?

Hello TomTrades,

Thank you for your response.

Both of your DrawArrow methods are drawing at zero. You need to set a value like given in Bertrand's example:

DrawArrowUp("upArrow" + CurrentBar, 0, [B]Low[0] - TickSize[/B], Color.Blue);

Thank you Patrick.
I'm almost there. How do I make the plot arrow X number of ticks away from the current bar?
Thank you
Tom

Hi Tom, you could just set a multiplier here to multiple into the ticksize to use as offset.

DrawArrowUp("upArrow" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - 4 * TickSize, Color.Blue);

The 4 could also be made a user integer input so you can control on the fly from the UI.

Anyone interested I added the following to a standard Stochastic indicator and called it StochasticAlerts

// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(Stochastics(3, 6, 3).K, Stochastics(3, 6, 3).D, 1))
{
DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, 0, Low[0] - 2 * TickSize, Color.Lime);
}

// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(Stochastics(3, 6, 3).K, Stochastics(3, 6, 3).D, 1))
{
DrawArrowDown("My down arrow" + CurrentBar, 0, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, Color.Red);
}
