WillSpread Indicator

[JohnDev]

Can anyone code this indicator? The code here is in Genesis Trade Sense. I'm completely lost with C#.

It takes a spread between two market symbols and creates a moving average type indicator. In this case, it shows when the ES is gaining on the 30 year bond. It would be great to have an input variable for the two symbols, so I could change them and use it on different markets.

Thanks,
John

&Spread := (Close Of "ES-067" / Close Of "ZB-067") * 100
&5EMA := MovingAvgX (&Spread , 5 , True)
&20EMA := MovingAvgX (&Spread , 20 , True)
&5EMA - &20EMA

Hello JohnDev,
Welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately we do not do custom NinjaScript coding. I will leave the thread open for any forum member who might assist you.

To develop your custom indicator/strategies you can also contact any of our independent NinjaScript consultants. You can get the list of our NinjaScript consultants from here http://www.ninjatrader.com/partners#...pt-Consultants

I took a stab at this. Let me know if this is what you're looking for.


EDIT: See post #8 for updated version

First of all, thanks for attempting this.

I installed the indicator but couldn't get it to plot on my chart. I added "ZB 09/12" in the second instrument field and "ES 09/12" as my input series. In my list of indicators on my chart it gave me "WillSpread (ES 09/12 {1350 tick) (>Unknown<, >Unknown<, >Unknown<)

The input will have to be the identical text for the name of the instrument. I tested it out last night with currency pairs and it worked with $EURGBP as the input. When I get home tonight I'll play around with futures to see if it just needs a different format, though I'm not sure if I have any futures data to test with.

If your symbol mapping is the same as mine then change ZB 09/12 to ZB 09-12.

Thanks, I tried that. No luck.

I was able to test this out with futures and it turns out that I needed to make a few changes to handle the input, but after the change it's working for me using ES 09-12 and ZB 09-12. As flyguy pointed out, the input will need to be in the format of ZB 09-12.



Here's the updated version along with a screenshot of the indicator

It looks correct on your chart but it won't plot on my end. I've attached a pic of my settings.

I'm brain dead at this point in the evening. I'll give it another try in the morning.

Thanks

Sorry, wrong chart.

mrdude,
Thanks for the WillSpread Ind. I tested your first version on about every combination of (min, ticks, range, contracts, and stocks that I trade) and it worked fine.

[mrdude]

From Control Center, click on the Log tab. Do you see an errors there?

It's possible that the indicator didn't update, so maybe deleting it and re-importing will help.

[flyguy767]

Sorry, wrong chart.

I noticed at SecondInstrument you have ZB 09-12 (4500 tick) when it should be just ZB 09-12.

Ninja 7 will not allow import

Ninja 7 latest version keeps saying the file is probably corrupt and it cannot import WillSpread. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Steadman,

Thanks for your post.

Please post a copy of the script you are attempting to import.
