Action

Action is a Signal subclass that executes a side effect at any position in the decision tree. Unlike regular signals that only determine direction, actions perform work (e.g., creating a rolling volume profile). Because Action inherits from Signal, it participates in the same tree evaluation order as other nodes.

Namespace: MZpack.NT8.Algo Inheritance: Action : Signal Source: [INSTALL PATH]/API/Actions/Action.cs

Properties​

Action inherits all properties from Signal (Strategy, MarketDataSource, Calculate, IsReset, Direction, EntryPrice, ChartRange, etc.).

Constructor​

public Action(Strategy strategy, MarketDataSource source,
    SignalCalculate calculate, bool isReset)

Methods​

MethodDescription
OnMarketEvent(object e, MarketDataSource source, bool isFirstTickOfBar, SignalDirection allowed)Dispatches to OnCalculate based on source type, respecting the Calculate property
GetRange(ChartRange range)Empty override — actions do not contribute to chart range

RollingProfileAction​

Creates a rolling volume profile over a specified number of bars.

Inheritance: RollingProfileAction : Action Source: [INSTALL PATH]/API/Actions/RollingProfileAction.cs

Properties​

PropertyTypeDescription
BarsRangeintNumber of bars for the rolling profile

Constructor​

public RollingProfileAction(Strategy strategy,
    StrategyVolumeProfileIndicator indicator,
    StrategyVolumeProfileIndicator outerProfileIndicator)

Sets MarketDataSource = Level1, Calculate = OnBarClose, IsReset = true. Switches the indicator to ProfileCreation.Custom.

Behavior​

On each bar close, OnCalculate creates or rolls the volume profile. Once the profile spans BarsRange bars, the action returns Direction = SignalDirection.Any to indicate the profile is ready.

Reset clears the profile view visibility.
