Basic alert

[Tzachi]

Hi all.

It wil be of a great help if anyone can create and post here the this basic alert:

When price closed above MA () draw an uparrow below the bar and send an audio alert.
When price closed below MA () draw a downarrow above the bar and send an audio alert.
And also, to where in the indicator to copy and paste it.

After 2 days I gave up on it and had to ask for your help (not an easy task for me...asking for help or directions...)

Thanks in advance.

I will ask one of our tech's in training to create something as a learning excercise. Might be a week or so.

[Tzachi]

Many thanks. I am sure that many other users will be happy to have it too.

Hi Tzachi,

I am the tech in training that is creating your alert. Could you please verify when you would like an arrow to be drawn on the chart.

Do you want an arrow to be drawn for each bar that closes above/below the Simple Moving Average or do you mean to draw an arrow on a bar only when the price crosses above/below the Simple Moving Average?

[Tzachi]

Jason,
Thanks for looking into it.

I would like to add an uparrow or downarrow for the first time that a price closed above/below the HiLoActivator.

Hi Tzachi,

You can find the indicator attached in this post. It will play a sound and draw the arrows when your conditions evaluate to true.

Instructions to import the .zip file into NinjaTrader can be found at the link below.

Once the file is imported, please see the following link how to apply the indicator in your chart.

Jason,

I put it on the chart and I have only 2 words for you:

Beautiful job.

Hello,
Nice job on this indicator. Thanks.
Question: If I wanted to add another element for the signal to be true...how would I do it.
Example: If I wanted to add the condition that the CCI must be greater than the zero line when the crossover occurs.

if (CrossAbove(Close, SMA(periodSMA), 1)) add(and the CCI > 0)
DrawArrowUp

and the opposite for a short.


Can this be done?

Thanks for your help

To add an additional condition you can use the && operator within the if ( ). For or statements the operator is ||.

Thanks Josh,
I cant get this to compile.
Will you check out why, please.

Thanks

if ((CrossAbove(Close, SMA(periodSMA), 1))&& (CCI(Close,(periodCCI)>0)))

The best overloaded method match for 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.Indicator.CCI(NinjaTrader.D ata.IDataSeries, int)' has some invalid arguments CS1502 - click for info 44 50

Argument '2': cannot convert from 'bool' to 'int' CS1503 - click for info 44 60

Also...sometimes I get an error that I cant use '>'

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

You can't close the if() statement before your second condition.

if (condition 1 && condition 2)

not

if (condition 1) && condition 2

Thanks Josh,
I'm getting closer.
Now I get this message:

Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.PriceOscillator' and 'int' CS0019 - click for info 45 9

if (CrossAbove(PriceOscillator(Close,1,34,3), PriceOscillator(Close,1,34,15), 1) && PriceOscillator(Close,1,34,15) > 0)

How can I fix that?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Right. If you are trying to compare values of the indicator you need to use the index [].

[0] would mean current bar. [1] would mean previous bar. etc.

SMA to EMA

Hi:

I'm very new to NT and I was wondering how I would go about changing the SMA to and EMA?

I tried editing the script by changing the SMA to EMA but no luck.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
