Point and Figure New Column Alerts

[mikhailov_ruslan]

Hello,

Initially I tried to program double top and double bottom signals on P&F charts, but then
I decided just to set an alert if a new column in Point and Figure forms but nothing worked. I used several methods like turning on CalculateOnBarClose and making Alert in OnBarUpdate method. I tried to use FirstTickOfBar in OnBarUpdate still no result.
I wonder if it is possible to make alerts based on P&F charts?
Thank for your answer.
Best regards

Hello mikhailov_ruslan,

Attached is a simple indicator I have created to test your alerts.

Alerts will go to the Alerts window, open a new Alerts window by clicking File -> New -> Alerts.

After importing please add this to a chart or to the Market Analyzer. Do not change any settings.

Follow these steps to import the NinjaScript:

1. Download the script to your desktop, keep it in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical *Note that on any files that say "File already exists on your PC" that start with an "@" symbol are the ones that came preloaded inside of NinjaTrader so you would say "No" so that you do not override those files.



After adding to a chart or Market Analyzer and opening a new Alerts window, if the alerts are not appearing, please ensure that you are connected to a live data feed and then send a screenshot of the Alerts window.

Hello Chelsea,

Thank you for this Alert. Now I have an indicator for new column with the help of the file you sent (Though I still didn't get what was wrong with my initial attempt).
However, I still struggle to make an alert for double top or double bottom. Can you please find a mistake in my logic:

CalculateOnBarClose = false;

if (FirstTickOfBar) ResetAlerts();
if (Close[0]>Open[0] && Close[0]>Close[2]) //Checks whether the new column is X column and whether current X column is higher than the previous one.
Alert("New Double Top"....);

Best regards

Hello,

I just wanted to mention that ResetAlerts() will remove all alerts from the Alerts window. Is this what you are trying to do?

Are all of the alerts not being removed?


What do you mean by double top? Does this reflect the code of the current bar's close being greater than the current bar's close and the current bar's close being greater than the open of two bars ago?
