Horizontal Divergence line

[trdninstyle]

I'm looking for an indicator that draws a horizontal line at divergence. Not the typical slanted line that u see all the time that connects the high to the higher high & vis versa.

I want just a line drawn horizontal at the pivot that created the divergence until the next divergence line is made. Like the swing indicator but only when there's a divergence.

Any idea's out there? P.S. The arrows not included

Hello trdninstyle,

This post is in the Indicator Development section of the forums.

Are you developing this script yourself and wanting assistance with the code?

To draw a historical line use Draw.HorizontalLine().

Are these plot values you are calling from a custom indcator?


Or are you looking for one you can download and import?

Hi Chelsea B,

I'm looking for one I can download and import.

I chose to place this post in the indicator development section because I cant find a div indicator that plots only horizontally maybe someone will give it a go? Who knows.

All of the divergence indicators out there only draw slanted lines at price not horizontal lines from the pivot like the example that I drew in myself in order to show what I'm talking about.

I would love to develope a script myself to do this function but I have no clue on how to start? I definitely would need assistance with the code or some kind of detailed video.

A prior divergence line is very important as price proceeds it & depending on some others things going on it's a weaker situation to take advantage of or to wait. Right now I draw them in myself so I dont overlook those area's but I dont always spot them on time.

Divergences also happen in lessor degrees that are vital for instance on a MacD the macd could retrace 100% yet price retraces 40% so now u have a 60% divergence or macd retraces 62% and price retraces 50% now u have 12% divergence. The % is not important but the div lines from previous area's are so to have them print & go out until the next one is made is important.

So your saying that I may be able to develope a script to do this? Thankyou.

That is very helpful information thankyou I will go thru that information and sure you can have a professional Ninja Trader Consultant contact me so I can get prices for what I want.

I want some other things too, like the color background to be more exact I'm using a free version it's not perfect and I want a multiple fib calculation that changes color when price closes above/below by 2 ticks and there's other stuff too but I'm getting carried away now. lol

By the way if ANYONE wants to develop anything like this for free please do and share

Good thankyou very much I have plenty to go by now. You guys have a good day!

[trdninstyle]

I'm back. I've been reading up and slowly starting to get it, it's not as intimidating as I thought it was but still not easy. Building my own indicator. I've built a few now but it's in the 'coding' where I have more to learn but I'm getting the concept.

My indicators do nothing there just trial runs I didn't know how to tell them what I wanted. I need to remove them? 'Tools' > 'Remove NinjaScriptAssembly' and in that box there was a few indicators I did remove but I can't get into my actual 'Indicator Assembly' area to remove more of them. Do I use the 'Export" > 'Ninjascript add on ? To get into my Indicator Assembly? (To remove what I earlier added on).

Also is there a good video on demonstrating painting the chart background on a SMA Crossover? Actually a 'trigger line' crossing another 'trigger line' is what I'm after. Any of you guy's good at coding where you can log unto my computer and help me?

Below is a link to the help guide on Exporting NinjaScripts.
http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...-us/export.htm


While the Strategy Builder 301 video demonstrates how to setup crossover conditions with the SMA, it does not set an action to Drawing > Set background color.
I'm not aware of any videos that demonstrate clicking add in the 'Do the following', opening the Drawing list, and selecting Set background color.
But I highly encourage you to give it a try.

Thank you for your reply I found it very helpful and deleting some of my indicators worked well. Also the video about >

Strategy Builder 301 video demonstrates how to setup crossover conditions with the SMA< is very good. When is the next live event for the Strategy Builder 301 / crossover conditions SMA ?

I use to have a anaSlopeSMA that colored the background can't find it anymore I believe I retrieved it from the old User App Share. I liked the older one better.

[trdninstyle]

Under 'Conditions and Actions' there is 'Paint the background' but this is for using a strategy but I imagine it will also allow the user to paint background building a Indicator using 'Conditions and Actions' ? 'Set the background color'

Hello trdninstyle,

Thanks for your replies.

Here is a link to all platform training webinars. https://ninjatrader.com/PlatformTraining The Strategy Builder 301 is presented every other Thursday at 4:00 PM EST.

Yes, you can create an indicator and you can paint the background. There is no Strategy builder like interface for indicators and you would have to work directly in Ninjascript.

You could create the functionality in the Strategy Builder and run it as a strategy that does not place trades but only indicates if you wish.

[trdninstyle]

Hello Paul H,

I was thinking that too, that last line u wrote. If I created a function as a strategy to paint background green or red on a trigger line crossover but have no trade trigger involved it does seem like that could work. Am I correct is that what you are also saying? I just built my own simple crossover strategy today in order to begin learning it.

I have a question with that though, if a strategy is running (even if it doesn't prompt trades) would I be deactivating the strategy with my manual trading? Or is there a override function for that? So I can keep on manually trading and having the strategy continue to run? Can I have more than one strategy running at same time?

Because if so, (I think I saw that I can?) is it feasible to have a function to plot a line every time there is a 100% extension? As a strategy but without the trading aspect in it. I would plot a yellow dotted line going across to the right. I have the concepts just need to get good at writing everything and figuring out the limitations.

Thank you so much!

Hello Bill,

Yes, you could run the strategy without placing trades and just color the background. Strategies do have to be enabled and this could be cumbersome.

Indicators, which do not have to be enabled, would require manually adding the logic and do not have the same sort of builder. However, it is possible to generate the code using the Strategy Builder and then copy and paste this into an indicator as long as there are no order methods being used. The NinjaScript Editor 401 demonstrates how to copy code out of a script made by a builder into a second unlocked script.

If there is a position open to the instrument and account the strategy is enabled on, clicking the Close button specifically will disable the strategy. Exiting the position with an order (such as placing a sell market order to exit a long position) will not cause the strategy to become disabled.

[trdninstyle]

I did see that from a vender I followed along but I keep getting errors. It's a pretty nice trick I liked it. I'm going to have to keep working at it. I Googled NinjaScript Editor 401 going to explore more video's do whatever it takes.

Thanks, do u have a direct link to said video to this task? To save me time looking at wrong videos until I find right one. One more question, what is the monthly cost to lease?
