Printing ZigZag points to output window

[NoInfluence]

Hi,

I've been trying to Print the date, as well as the value of the ZigZag points that appear on a chart in the output window (using the print function) and I've had no success, I would really appreciate some help.

Thank you for your time.

Welcome to our forums here - which code snippet were you using please? Any error on running it in the log tab of NT's Control Center?

Here's a helpful tip on printing / debugging : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3418

My problem was with historical data, I am new to ninjatrader, I didn't know that OnBarUpdate() ran through the old bars, then all the way up to real-time so the data I was getting back was nonsensical because I didn't know that.

So, after OnBarUpdate() gets to the current bar I have

int HighBarsAgo = 0;
int LowBarsAgo = 0;
for(int i = 1; HighBarsAgo != -1 && LowBarsAgo != -1; i++)
{
HighBarsAgo = ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 0.5, false).HighBar(0, i, 1000);
LowBarsAgo = ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 0.5, false).LowBar(0, i, 1000);

if(HighBarsAgo != -1)
Print("The " + i + " ZigZag High was " + High[Math.Max(0, HighBarsAgo)] + " which was " + HighBarsAgo + " bars ago");
if(LowBarsAgo != -1)
Print("The " + i + " ZigZag Low was " + Low[Math.Max(0, LowBarsAgo)] + " which was " + LowBarsAgo + " bars ago");
}

which outputs:


The 1 ZigZag High was 37.74 which was 6 bars ago
The 1 ZigZag Low was 36.01 which was 13 bars ago
The 2 ZigZag High was 36.9 which was 16 bars ago
The 2 ZigZag Low was 34.22 which was 27 bars ago
The 3 ZigZag High was 35.7 which was 35 bars ago
The 3 ZigZag Low was 34.67 which was 37 bars ago
The 4 ZigZag High was 36.3 which was 41 bars ago
The 4 ZigZag Low was 34.47 which was 43 bars ago
The 5 ZigZag High was 35.7 which was 46 bars ago
The 5 ZigZag Low was 31.88 which was 63 bars ago
...

.

so, problem solved.

Thank you for your time.
