I think I did it but as a condition... (problem is I don't know how I am doing it re datevalue stuff.) can you check it out? ("warn"s are left over from plot attempt)...  thanks...

If isFirstBar Then
 warn = Single.NaN
 Days = 0
Else If Price.DateValue.DayOfYear <> Price.DateValue(1).DayOfYear Then

End If
If days >= 2 Then
 If price.High() > price.XAVG(10) And price.low() < price.XAVG(10) Then
  If price.Close(1) < price.XAVG(1.10) And pdo.AVG(1) > 50 Then
   warn = 1
   pass
  End If
 End If
End If

with correction on ma:

'# PDO = indicator.Library.Pivot Detector Oscillator
Static Days As Integer
If isFirstBar Then

 Days = 0
Else If Price.DateValue.DayOfYear <> Price.DateValue(1).DayOfYear Then
 Days += 1
End If
If days >= 2 Then
 If price.High() > price.XAVG(10) And price.low() < price.XAVG(10) Then
  If price.close(1) < price.XAVG(10.1) And pdo.AVG(1) > 50 Then
   pass
  End If
 End If
End If

and crossing down with low pdo:

'# PDO = indicator.Library.Pivot Detector Oscillator

Static Days As Integer
If isFirstBar Then
 Days = 0
Else If Price.DateValue.DayOfYear <> Price.DateValue(1).DayOfYear Then
 Days += 1
End If
If days >= 2 Then
 If price.High() > price.XAVG(10) And price.low() < price.XAVG(10) Then
  If price.Close(1) > price.XAVG(10.1) And pdo.value() < 50 Then
   pass
  End If
 End If
End If

cleaning up the other lines left over from indicator attempt, they become really simplified:

'# PDO = indicator.Library.Pivot Detector Oscillator

If price.High() > price.XAVG(10) And price.low() < price.XAVG(10) Then
 If price.close(1) < price.XAVG(10.1) And pdo.AVG(1) > 50 Then
  pass
 End If
End If
--------------------------

'# PDO = indicator.Library.Pivot Detector Oscillator
If price.High() > price.XAVG(10) And price.low() < price.XAVG(10) Then
 If price.Close(1) > price.XAVG(10.1) And pdo.value() < 50 Then
  pass
 End If
End If
------------------------------

I guess I'd still like to see how you would make it into a yes/no indicator; and how and why datevalue variables are used... I could not find adequate info in the references I looked at, and inappropriate indicators always crash the program...

There's a bug that crashes the program when you import PDO directly into the code using the Import Indicator button.  But if you add it to your chart first you can drag it into the code editor and it will work fine.  This has been reported to development.

This is the code that you originall asked for in your initial post.  You can see that PDO was dragged in from the chart.


'# PDO = chart.PivotDetectorOscillator

If PDO.value > 0 Then
 plot = 1
Else If PDO.value < 0 Then
 plot = -1
End If

thank you. 

please note that in my SF5, it worked the other way around i.e. it crashed when I dragged indicator from chart and it is doing OK with the PDO imported.... So maybe the bug is something else...  Here is the code that is working O.K. ( pdo.avg(1) just gets current bar's value... since it is working, I am not touching it :)  )

'# PDO = indicator.Library.Pivot Detector Oscillator

If price.High() > price.XAVG(10) And price.low() < price.XAVG(10) Then
 If price.close(1) < price.XAVG(10.1) And pdo.avg(1) > 50 Then
  pass
 End If
End If
