Popup alert window

Sure. In your string just add it in.

"My message blah. Here is the price " + Close[0]

To access high and low you need to be using High[0] and Low[0]. Be mindful of the capitalized letter.

Thank you Josh for quick reply.

I have changed alert message as you sugested.

On my second question. Perhaps I did not explain the problem corectly.
It is not a matter of accessing High or Low as it is a matter of specifying condition on the same bar (or even 2 or 3 bars), with part of the bar being above pivot and part being bellow pivot.
Example High[0]>swingHigh and Low[0]< swingHigh which should idealyy put an arrow on the bar that is just started to breakout.
This however does not work.
As well as this: Close[0]>swingHigh && Close[1]< swingHigh

I have tried to code second condition as bool and as DataSeries Signal1

It does not work!

Ahy sugestions?

Thank you again.

xtrender,

Please be more specific as to what you think doesn't work. What are you seeing instead?

[xtrender]

Sorry Josh,

Specificaly I can not code 2 conditions in Ninjascript that I can see on the chart and describe as this English sentence: Cond1.If High of the current Bar rises above pivot High and Cond2.the Low of the same bar still below pivot High then draw arrow on the chart.
Problem is that Ninja does not plot the arrow based on above descibed conditions.
In English one condition does not preclude the other.
In Ninjascript...?
The first condition is easy to plot but 1st and 2nd together does not plot at all.
Any ideas?

Thank you.

xtrender,

I am not understanding you. Please post the code that you have.

If you want an "AND" condition you need to do something like this:

if (condition1 && condition 2)
{
     // do something;

[xtrender]

if( (CurrentBar-1)>0
&& ToTime(Time[0])>= 93000 && ToTime(Time[0])< 160000
&& High[0] > currentSwingHigh//cond1
&& Low[0]<currentSwingLow//cond2

//or ulternatively

&& Close[0]>currentSwingHigh//cond1
&& Close[1] < currentSwingHigh//cond2

DrawArrowUp("MyArrowUp"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0], Color.Lime);
DrawText("S1_near Bull"+CurrentBar, "S1_near Bull", 0, Low[0]-50* TickSize, Color.Green);
bullBreakouts.Set(1);

if (AlertOnBreakout == true)
{

Alert("Bull S1_near ", Priority.High, "Bull S1_near ", "Alert2.wav", 100000, Color.White, Color.Blue);

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

if( (CurrentBar-1)>0
&& ToTime(Time[0])>= 93000 && ToTime(Time[0])< 160000
&& High[0] > currentSwingHigh//cond1
&& Low[0]<currentSwingLow//cond2

//or ulternatively

&& Close[0]>currentSwingHigh//cond1
&& Close[1] < currentSwingHigh//cond2

DrawArrowUp("MyArrowUp"+CurrentBar, 0, Low[0], Color.Lime);

You never closed the if-statement with the ending ).

[xtrender]

Sorry Josh, but this is precisly the problem that something like this:

&& High[0] > currentSwingHigh//cond1
&& Low[0]<currentSwingLow//cond2
does not generate alert
Please read my previous 3 posts, I think it is obvious what I mean. I am trying to express condition when high is above the pivot while low is below the pivot on the same bar!

How about just get alert if(
High [0] > SMA(20)[0]
&& Low[0]<SMA(20)[0] )
I don't understand why above doesn't draw an arrow

[xtrender]

OK, I am not looking for syntax help, my code compiles!

I am trying to express condition when high is above the pivot while low is below the pivot on the same bar!


Thank you.

xtrender,

You need to post code you have and I will assist you in getting it working. You posted uncompilable code earlier and that is why I directed you in a direction to fix the error. Please post your latest rendition of code you are having trouble with so we can assist.

[xtrender]

Thank you Josh for your wilingness to look at my problem!

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

xtrender,

Consider this:

&& High[0] > currentSwingHigh 
&& Low[0] < currentSwingHigh

You need to debug to see if your conditions are even being evaluated to true.

Pretend currentSwingHigh = 100. High[0] = 150. Low[0] = 90.

150 > 100
90 < 100

so that would be an example of it being true. If this condition is not true it will not draw. You need to print the values of all three to evaluate this.

[xtrender]

Hi Josh,

Can you be more specific as to how I can print out this values and debug?

On the chart this condition is always present . You have pivot level and the High of breakout bar is above that level (otherwise there is no breakout),while Low of the breakoutbar is below pivot. So it must be true, but apparently it has to be programed in a different way.
And as I mention even this doesnt draw on the chart:
&& Close[0]>currentSwingHigh//cond1
&& Close[1] < currentSwingHigh//cond2

I don't know enough about Ninja to understand why it doesn't work.

Thank you for help

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

xtrender,

If the condition is truly present as determined by the printed out values, your code will execute, otherwise it will not.

Do this before your if-statement:

Print(Time[0] + " currentSwingHigh: " + currentSwingHigh + " High[0]: " + High[0] + " Low[0]: " + Low[0]);

Inside your if-statement also add another print so you know when it evaluates to true.

Print("Entered if-statement");

Then open your Output Window (Tools->Output Window) to see the print outs.

when you go to "live ninjatrader",do you remove all ninja from the demo and then download the free ninja,or do you do something else if you are using the free version?

Thank you
