High[] and Low[] wrong values

[kostolany]

Thank you very much, now everything is working perfectly!!

Hello,

It looks like you are using invalid names for your Plots.

Low and High are DataSeries by default in NinjaScript so you have hidden the High and Low dataseries of actual market data and replaced them with your own:

Nice catch.. I completely missed that.. (especially after commenting out his stuff and using the sample code without using exactly what was there..).

Hello,

It looks like you are using invalid names for your Plots.

Low and High are DataSeries by default in NinjaScript so you have hidden the High and Low dataseries of actual market data and replaced them with your own:

 [Browsable(false)]    // this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
        [XmlIgnore()]        // this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
        public DataSeries High
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }

        [Browsable(false)]    // this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove
        [XmlIgnore()]        // this line ensures that the indicator can be saved/recovered as part of a chart template, do not remove
        public DataSeries Low
        {
            get { return Values[1]; }
        }

If you change the names of these to an acceptable name, the values should return to normal after removing the indicator from the chart completely and then re adding it.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi,

I have tested more options and I see, when I only set
Low.Set(Low[3]);

the indicator should show the low 4 bars ago(0=current,1=1bar back etc.)?
I have attached a picture with the code and the chart. Has someone ever seen this before, is this a bug of ninjatrader?

[kostolany]

Thank you for your help!
I have a german Notebook with windows 10 and europe time and a demo version of ninjatrader. I hope it is not the demo, why it is not working.
I have developed another indicator with Emas and Smas and there I had no problems, but I only worked with the Close[] prices.
I have also tried it in other symbols, but it did not help.
I have now attached the whole script, perhaps, I have made a mistake in the other regions:

Looks good here

Works on ES.

Is the internationalization an issue here?

Hi,

I am trying to develope an indicator, which schows me the Highest High and Lowest Low from the last 12 Candles excluding the current bar.
But, when I look at the Chart, it is always showing wrong values.
I have attached a picture from the following code, does someone know, where the error is?
