Third party S/R levels

[RJBen]

I want to develop a strategy in NT7 that identifies lines from within NT. In other words, if an indicator plots horizontal lines, (fibs for example) I want to create a strategy that whenever horizontal lines are created by some indicator x, then execute the trade (even if the source behind those lines is unknown). There must be something within NT that can identify/detect when horizontal lines are plotted.

Hello RJBen,

Objects are only available outside of a class in C# if they are made public.

You may be able to create a public array to hold these objects and get information about the objects on each bar update. (It may be necessary to call Update() in the get).

I would recommend using a List object.

Do you care to dumb that down for me? lol

Hello RJBen,

The code below is general C# is and not specific to NinjaScript (meaning this is not documented in the help guide and isn't guaranteed).

The idea would be to create an array to hold the drawing objects.

private List<IDrawObject> myDrawingObjects;

myDrawingObjects = new List<IDrawObject>();

Make this public

[XmlIgnore()]
[Browsable(false)]
public List<IDrawObject> MyDrawingObjects
{
	get
	{
		Update();
		return myDrawingObjects;
	}
	set	{ }
}

And then as objects are drawn, these are added to the list.

myDrawingObjects.Add(DrawLine("myLineb", 30, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, 0, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, Color.Green));

Then the strategy would access that public property

if (MyIndicator().MyDrawingObjects != null)
{
	foreach (IDrawObject draw in MyIndicator().MyDrawingObjects)
	{
		if (draw is ILine)
		{
			ILine line = draw as ILine;

			Print(string.Format("{0}", line.StartY));
		}
	}
}

Chelsea B. ROCKS!!!!

Next question, so long as these are levels on a chart, can we set Display in Data box to true and access the information from the Data box? Instead of trying to detect a level from indicator X can we instead extract the information from the Data box? It too has the price levels that I need.

Hello RJBen,

Drawing objects will not appear in the Data Box.

Plots will appear in the DataBox.

Plots in an indicator can be returned in a strategy.

Hi Chelsea,
I have a set of proprietary indicators that plot potential support and resistance levels based on market volatility. I put several different chart types on one chart (2 Range, 2 Time and 2 Volume). I made each chart a different color. Then I am looking for areas of confluence between those chart types. I've included a screenshot from yesterdays trading on the ES. I want to have an automation strategy created. But I need to be able to put the plots into the strategy to compare and find those areas of confluence as the source codes are closed. The Data box separates everything by chart types, colors and price values. So if I can extract that information, like into a spreadsheet, I can separate it by colors and compare price levels for areas of confluence. Can it be done?

Hello RJBen,

Plots are intended to be called from other scripts when the data series are made public.

For an example, take a look at how the MACD indicator works. There are three plots in this, the Default plot, the Avg plot, and the Diff plot.

For example:
Print(MACD(12, 26, 9).Avg[0]);

This would print the most recent bar's value for the Avg plot in the MACD.

Are you creating public data series for your plots?

[RJBen]

Sorry, I am not a programmer. What does, "creating public data series for your plots" mean?

[NinjaTrader_ChelseaB]

Hello RJBen,

This means using the public access modifier declaring the series within the scope of the class.

In the MACD this is in the region Properties on lines 105 through 124.

The example below shows exposing objects with the public access modifier.

The Values[plot index] series is what you wanting to expose.
