Hello,
I have tested the strategy and it appears that the matter is the arrows are drawing however they are drawing at the value of 6. To have them plot on the price you can replace the double value with Close[0] for example.
I have included an example of this below.

// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(CCI(6),0, 1))
{
DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Close[0], Color.Lime);
}

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

Thank you for your reply but I tried and still I don't get my arrows on the screen
all I'm trying to get at this stage is an arrow when cci crosses the 0 line up and down
and it's sounds very simple but the result is far from what I expect

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
As a test please change the bool for autoscale on the draw objects from false to true.

// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(CCI(6),0, 1))
{
DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, true, 0, Close[0], Color.Lime);
}

Do you see the arrow plot anywhere?

first I see no arrows
2nd I is there a way to open a saved strategy in strategy wizard again or do I have to edit the strategy from the code like every indicator once it's saved?

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
If you unlocked the code you will need to edit it from the NinajScript Editor. There is not a method to lock the code again.
Can you export the strategy so I may fully investigate what is occurring?
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.

Thank you for your help, I mean it

here is the script

Hello,
I am seeing that the strategy is correct. I have attached a screenshot of the chart on my end. I changed the errors to pink and blue as the red and green were harder to see.
If you are not seeing the errors at all on your chart I would recommend to remove the strategy from the chart and add in again.

thank you how do I plot the arrows bit higher
thank you for your effort

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
To plot them higher or lower you will increase the double value. One method to do this would be to have the double y value of the Draw object be the High of the bar + a number of ticks.
For example:

// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(CCI(6),0, 1))
{
DrawArrowUp("My up arrow" + CurrentBar, true, 0, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, Color.Lime);
}

This will plot the up arrow at the High of the bar + 2 ticks.
