let's start with a real simple detailed example from the MACD :
- In the figure 1 we have 2 horizontal lines placed, locked and tagged at a +1 distance from the ZeroLine. These 2 lines actually are a "NON VARIABLE OFFSET" of the ZeroLine.
But we cannot set an alert(or strategy) when this distance is reached by Price from the indicator, because the ZeroLine and its eventual offset are not available by default as conditions, only MACD, AVG and Diff.
- In the figure 2 we can see how the Horizontal Line DrawObjects are used with an alert.
What is the best way to proceed to create/make appear a non variable permanent value that can be used as a condition in the Strategy Builder ?
We could just use the alerts like suggested here https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...03#post1099703, but it seems that the Strategy Builder can offer a set of conditions and logics far superior than alerts. Also the examples in this link are for VARIABLE and moving horizontals, it is not the case with our horizontals.
I hear it is also possible to maybe add a bool or serie to a modified MACD indicator? Maybe just set something in the Strategy Builder Inputs section or alike ?
What are the less Calculations heavy solutions ?
Thank you
