ZigZag Indicator question in strategy builder

12-27-2019, 04:18 PM

For simplicity, I want to buy 5 points dips on the ES. So I'm using the ZigZag indicator to achieve that, but I have not gotten it to work. I want to understand it better. How could I structure the strategy builder to buy 1 lot when the zigzag indicator is equal to a 5 point dip?

Picture below shows how I have it set up, but so far, it is not doing what I want it to do.

Hi franco12364, thanks for your note.

Please use the Print statement under the Misc folder to print out the value of the close and the value of the pivot indicator you have set up. This will print the values out to the NinjaScript output window and show you exactly what is going wrong.
