Pivot

[Italy]

Good morning,
I can not run the Pivot indicator inside the code.
How do you do it?
Thank you.

Hello Roberto,

Thanks for your post.

Can you clarify what error or issue you are seeing in trying to use the pivots indicator?

Can you post your code example or screenshot?

Are you using the strategy builder or coding directly in Ninjascript?

Attached the code. I did not understand what I should enter as values in place of "0" in State.DataLoaded.
Pivots1 = Pivots (PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 0,0,0,20);

Then, in protected override void OnBarUpdate (), I wrote this way:

if (Close [0]> Pivots1.Pp [0])
{
Golong
}

Where am I wrong?

Hello Roberto,

Thanks for your reply.

Your code looks correct. Have you created Pivots1 at the class level? For example:

private Pivots Pivots1; This would be placed just under the public class strategyname : Strategy

The zeros in the statement: Pivots (PivotRange.Daily, HLCCalculationMode.CalcFromIntradayData, 0,0,0,20); are for a user specified High, Low and Close value to define the pivots when user-defined is selected in the HLCCalculationMode, if not select the values are ignored.

Yes. I had forgotten to put it, now it's been included in the attached file. The strategy in this way does not show on the chart the Pivots. Then, every candle enters Long, continuously. How to set up Pivots. Could you please give me an example?
Thank you.

Hello Roberto,

Thanks for your reply.

Please make sure that you are enabling the strategy if you are applying to a live data chart.

If you do not see the pivots on the chart, you may need to change the vertical price scale to be able to see the pivots as they may well be out of the charts view.

Also, keep an eye on the "log" tab when something is not working as expected as there could be runtime errors that would be displayed there.

Your current entry condition is quite static so on each bar if that condition is true it indeed would want to enter an order.

I believe what you are looking for is to know when price crosses the pivots? If so then you should look at the CrossAbove() and CrossBelow() methods.

For example:

if (CrossAbove (Close, Pivots1.Pp[0], 1)
{
// go long
}
