Swing High/Low and Zig Zag Indicators

[Alfred]

After you apply the Swing High/Low indicator to a chart the study lines may disappear after the chart updates for a spell (like maybe 3 to 5 minutes or so)....then if you change the strength setting, the lines will show again.

I tried it on an 8 tick and 5 second chart of the ER2 and noticed this on both charts once or twice.

Also...I could not get the Zig Zag indicator to plot on either chart .....


Thanks...

Alfred,

With ZigZag, try changing settings, such as:

Deviation type - Points
Deviation value - 1

Development will follow up regarding the other issue.

Hi Ray....

On the Zig Zag plotting ....switched to your suggested values...it works OK now....

Thanks ! ....should have fussed with it a bit....

Hello Alfred !

The problem with the disappearing Swing indicator is solved, and the solution will be available in the next release.

Kind regards,
Christian

Anyone there could help me:

I want to know if the plot of Swing indicator of the current bar is high or low. For example I have green dot for the Swing high and orange dot for the Swing Low. I need to know if the current bar has a green dot/Swing high or if the current bar has a orange dot/Swing low.

I have an example image of what I want to know.

Hello luxurious_04,

Unfortunately I am not sure if I follow your inquiry.

If you set 'Calculate on bar close' to False for the Swing indicator, it will display the Swing values for the current bar.

I just want to know the plot of swing indicator of the current bar or I want to access the swing plot of the current bar. If it is a high or low. Not the value, the plot.

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

You can view the Swing plot of the current bar by setting 'Calculate on bar close' to False. The Swing indicator will be calculated on each incoming tick instead of the close of each bar. When set to True the current bar will not display a Swing plot.

Okay thanks Jason. Now, I already set it to false then how can I accessed it if is a high or low. Can you give just a tip for the code. Please....

Please have a look at the Swing High / Low value methods to access it's current value - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/Swing.html

The Swing indicator can be challenging to work with, I suggest you just plot the High / Low values programmatically accessed to see what info is available as the 'visual only' one you used on the chart is backfitting it's results to easily show the current swing structure of the market analyzed.
