CongestionBoxBC strategy help request

[micasa001]

Hi all,

Im trying to convert an indicator to a strategy but can't get this working in the strategy builder. Think this should be done in C# but hope to get some help here.

What I like to do is to:

Buy: if close is in the green box
Sell: if close is in the red box

Hope someone can help me with this.

Best regards

Hello micasa001,

Thanks for your post.

If you would like the strategy created for you an option is to hire a 3rd party programmer and we can provide you with references if you wish.

In terms of the strategy builder, one test you can try is to examine the strategy in the strategy builder to see if there are any "value plots" as these are what the strategy builder could use. If you have value plots then the next step would be to print out what those values are that are provided to see if you can relate those to the "boxes" you see. You do not need any conditions, just use the Print statement in an empty set to get the values on every bar. Here is a link to a short video on how to print out values in the strategy builder: https://paul-ninjatrader.tinytake.co...NV8xMDk5MDc5Nw

To save you some time, you may want to consult with the indicator creator to see if they have used the indicator in a strategy or can provide some tips for doing so.
