Add MidPoint- to Prior Day OHLC

[thetradingguy]

I am using the built in NT Indicator: PriorDayOHLC and need to add the 50%/midpoint level/line between yesterday's high and low. I also need it to be able to be styled as to color and size like the other lines.

Any Ideas for a newbie???

Thanks,
DB

Hello DB,

If you want to make a new indicator and call the values of the prior high and low, you can call the indicator with PriorDayOHLC().PriorHigh[0].

If you are wanting to modify the PriorDayOHLC, start by making a copy of the indicator so that you may modify the copy.

Please use the steps I have provided below to create a copy of an indicator:

• In the Control Center select Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Indicator...
• Select the indicator to copy > Click Ok
• Right-click within the code window > select Save As
• Give the indicator a unique name > Click OK

The PriorHigh and PriorLow are the plots that contain yesterday's high and low values.

After the logic in the script that sets these values, you can use these how you would like.
For example:
Print(PriorHigh[0] - PriorLow[0]);
This would print the different from yesterdays high to yesterdays low.

You could set this in a plot similar to the plots that exist.

Are you saying that the following code would calculate the 50% value of yesterday's high and low?

Print(PriorHigh[0] - PriorLow[0]);

In other words, if the low of yesterday was 100 and the high was 200, that line of code would have a value of 150??? Or does the [0] vslue need to be changed somehow?

Thanks

Hello DB,

No, I am not specifying the math you will need for you calculations as this is outside of what is supported by NinjaTrader Support.

I am demonstrating how to call the high and low values so that you may use these for your calculations.
