userdefinedvalues

[Raggamuffin]

hi

I want to adjust the pivotindicator. The adjustment is nearly finished i have just one problem.

In the pivotsindicator it is possible to enter user defined values for close, high and low.

Now I dont want to enter user defined values I want to type in numbers that are then added to the current close, high and low. can someone help me in that matter?

this is what i have:

currentClose = (priorDayHLC == HLCCalculationMode.UserDefinedValues) ? userDefinedClose : close;
currentHigh = (priorDayHLC == HLCCalculationMode.UserDefinedValues) ? userDefinedHigh : high;
currentLow = (priorDayHLC == HLCCalculationMode.UserDefinedValues) ? userDefinedLow : low;
}
else
{
currentClose = (priorDayHLC == HLCCalculationMode.UserDefinedValues) ? userDefinedClose : close;
currentHigh = (priorDayHLC == HLCCalculationMode.UserDefinedValues) ? userDefinedHigh : Math.Max(currentHigh, high);
currentLow = (priorDayHLC == HLCCalculationMode.UserDefinedValues) ? userDefinedLow : Math.Min(currentLow, low);


i think there are just small changes to implement.

thx in advance

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

Try something like this:
currentClose = (priorDayHLC == HLCCalculationMode.UserDefinedValues) ? close + my_tick_addition*TickSize : close;

Where my_tick_addition is an integer type variable that you added to the program.

I have not tested this, but give it a try, try to debug it if there are issues, and if all else fails post what you are doing and we'll try to help again.

thanks, but:

you wrote:

? I am a newbee to that so dont know what you mean. is it the definition in the variables?

private double userDefinedClose = 0;
private double userDefinedHigh = 0;
private double userDefinedLow = 0;

or do i have to change also anything in the properties?

/// <summary>
/// close value for user defined pivots calculation
/// </summary>
[Description("User defined prior session close value used for pivots calculation.")]
[Category("\rUser defined values")]
public double UserDefinedClose
{
get { return userDefinedClose; }
set { userDefinedClose = value; }
}

/// <summary>
/// high value for user defined pivots calculation
/// </summary>
[Description("User defined prior session high value used for pivots calculation.")]
[Category("\rUser defined values")]
public double UserDefinedHigh
{
get { return userDefinedHigh; }
set { userDefinedHigh = value; }
}

/// <summary>
/// low value for user defined pivots calculation
/// </summary>
[Description("User defined prior session low value used for pivots calculation.")]
[Category("\rUser defined values")]
public double UserDefinedLow
{
get { return userDefinedLow; }
set { userDefinedLow = value; }
}

thx a lot in advance

Hello,

Modifying the pivots indicator is fairly advanceds for a new user.

Here is a referenece sample to get you started:

Post questions that you might have.

Not possible to define user defined pivot values globally?

Hi Ninja Support,
I don't mind entering the user values for pivots to ensure they are absolutely correct, but the problem is, with say 8 charts open I can't possibly enter them 8 times for 8 different charts.

Is there any way the values can be entered only once and applied globally to all charts open with the same instrument ??

Cheers,

Hello,

I assume you mean without programming it.
Try saving it in a template: right click chart>templates
Then apply that template to the other chart.
