JK HiLo Index

[vxtr295]

The indicator is featured in the Oct 2011 edition of TASC. However I'm unable to get it to plot. Would someone be able to offer some input to get this indicator to work? Thanks.

vxtr295,

Thank you for your post.

What instrument and time interval are you loading this on?

Do you receive any errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

[vxtr295]

I use the default settings, daily ES 09-11, for testing purposes. there were no errors. If I want to use NAS Comp or SP 500 daily, what symbols do I use and which lines of the script do I change?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

Hello,

Can you please try using the ES 12-11 to ensure you are on the current date for the chart. Otherwise if you require the ES 09-11, please make sure the End Date for this chart is set to a date this contract was trading.

I do not have access to this particular script from my current location, however in the Initialize() method, there should be some Add() reference to the default symbols. You can simply change these to ^COMP or ^SP500 for example.

protected override void Initialize()
{
     Add("^COMP", PeriodType.Day, 1); 
}

Matthew,

first of all, thanks for your responses.

the indicator requires 3 vars:

1) total issues of the index (COMP, DJIA, or SP500)
2) total issues hitting new highs
3) total issues hitting new lows

I think the following lines of the code capture the 3 vars:

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
Overlay = false;
Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkOliveGree n), 20, "Line1"));
Add(new Line(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkOliveGree n), 90, "Line2"));
Plots[0].Pen.Width = 2;
Add("^NTCI", PeriodType.Day, 1);
Add("^NNYH", PeriodType.Day, 1);
Add("^NNYL", PeriodType.Day, 1);
E = new DataSeries (this);
H = new DataSeries (this);
}

unfortunately the 3 vars (^NTCI, ^NNYH, and ^NNYL) aren't working for the charting. It could be these are invalid symbols. would you know the correct ones to use? also, what are the comparable symbs for DJIA or SP500?

btw, you can download the script at www.ninjatrader.com/SC/October2011SC.zip

vxtr295,

Can you please clarify who you connect to for data? Once I know who you are using I can help you get NTCI, NNYH and NNYL setup if needed as these do not come preconfigured.

The DJIA and SP500 should come preconfigured as long as you are connected to a provider who offers indexes. In the instrument manage, the symbols will be named "SP500" and "DJIA". To access form the script you would need to specify "^SP500" and "^DJIA".

Matt,

I use Kinetics, and sometimes Yahoo.

Hello vxtr295,

Thank you for your response.

Please advise what the symbols NTCI, NNYH, and NNYL represent so I may assist you further.

I look forward to assisting you further.

[vxtr295]

NTCI = total issues of the index (COMP, DJIA, or SP500)
NNYH = total issues of index hitting new highs
NNYL = total issues of index hitting new lows

Hello vxtr295,

Thank you for your response.

I am unable to locate these indices using Kinetick's symbol search (https://www.kinetick.com/support#Symbol-Search) or Yahoo Finance.

Are you able to locate these indices using Kinetick's symbol search or Yahoo Finance?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Matt,

That works. Thanks a bunch. I'm wondering how you found those symbols to map, as I like to do the for DJIA and SP500.

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

vxtr,

I found these by searching "Nasdaq Issues", "Nasdaq fifty-two week" for the Name/Description and Instrument Type set to Market Statics from the Kinetick search.

With Kinetick, I don't believe there is a reported SP500 52 week hi/low nor is there a DJIA. I can find this for the NYSE, AMEX however.
