Parabolic SAR cross above

[2Look4me]

I would like to use the stored value at the time that it crosses above the Parabolic SAR, but I'm having problems with that as well as errors in my script. Thanks in advance.

#region Variables
private DataSeries  crossAboveSeries;
#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
crossAboveSeries  = new DataSeries(this);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
crossAboveSeries.Set(CrossAbove(Close[0],ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.20,0.02)[0],1));
}

Hello,
Thank you for your post.

Currently you are trying to set the data series to a boolvalue. You can set the DataSeries to the Close when the Cross occurs by doing the following:

protected override void()
{

    if(CrossAbove(Close[0],ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.20,0.02)[0],1)
    {
        crossAboveSeries.Set(Close[0]);
    }

If this is not what you are trying to achieve please let us know.

CodyB,

Thanks for the fast response. Following your suggestions, I'm getting the following errors CS1502 that CrossAbove has some invalid arguments and NT1503, Argument "2" cannot convert from double to Data.IData.Series

Hello,
Thank you for the reply.
My apologies you would want to do something like the following example:

protected override void()
{

    if(CrossAbove(Close,ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.20,0.02),1)
    {
        crossAboveSeries.Set(Close[0]);
    }

Please let me know if we can be of any other assistance.

CodyB,

Thanks, that took care of the errors. On the other hand, as I do a “Print”, I get multiple values that are not consistent with the Close[0] as it crosses above the Parabolic SAR. Where did I miss out in my script?

Hello,
What print statements are you using?

Can you provide a screenshot of the results and their discrepancies?

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks again CodyB,
I've also included a sample screenshot and a textfile of the output window.

Based on the screenshot:
at 13:21 Close= 1182.40, but the output window shows 1156.40
at 13:36 Close= 1182.10, output window shows 1137.10
at 14:16 Close= 1181.80, output window shows 1157.40

Print(Time[0].ToString("HH:mm:ss")+"   " +crossAboveSeries);

Hello
So that I may assist further can you provide me a copy of the indicator?
You can attach your indicator to your response by going to File > Utilities > Export NinjaScript > Export selected source files > select your Indicator > select the right arrow > Export. The file will be located under (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\ExportNinjaScript.

Indicator is enclosed.

Hello,
I have fully reviewed the indicator and I am seeing it is working properly.
You will want to print out the following to verify this.

Print(Time[0].ToString("HH:mm:ss")+"   " +crossAboveSeries[0]);

In addition on my end I debugged by telling the indicator to draw a dot at the current bar of the crossAboveSeries and compare it to the closing price of the bar using the databox.

private int myCount = 0

protected override void()
if(CrossAbove(Close,ParabolicSAR(0.02,0.20,0.02),1)) 
{
    crossAboveSeries.Set(Close[0]);
    myCount++;
    DrawDot("dot when cross" + myCount,  true, Time[0], crossAboveSeries[0],   Color.Pink);

}

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.

Thanks CodyB for taking the time to review it. I compared it with a "DrawText" of the crossAboveSeries and the indicator is working properly.
