2 ninjascripts. Any way they can talk with each other?

[IDumpedCinderella]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how I can send a variable from one ninja script indicator to another indicator. The reason for doing so is because one indicator needs to calculate on each tick and the other needs to calculate on the bar close. I am using the buysellvolume indicator.

I have been trying to use Static Variables and events but the moment I try to reference the variable by mentioning the ninjascript in a different script, I get an error saying "Indicator. bla bla is a method, which is not valid in the given context."

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hello IDumpedCinderella,

The supported way would be to set a plot value in the symbiote indicator and call the symbiote indicator from the host indicator.

Using static classes and properties is not supported and will not work in all situations.

However, I can provide you an unsupported example of using a static class.

I get an error saying "Indicator. bla bla is a method, which is not valid in the given context."

This error is a result of the way NT8 adds the invocation methods to the Indicator class (auto generated code at bottom of indicators) that also handles the caching.

You can reference your actual Indicator class for static properties through full class name. e.g.

Indicators.INDNAME.foo

or if you create your own Namespace,

Indicators.MyIndicators.INDNAME.foo

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might be possible with a static class using an event driven design.

Hey, was it solved? I'm also the similar issue.

Okay, thanks!

var i = ChartControl.Indicators.Where(x => x.Name == "indicatorname").FirstOrDefault();
​if (i != null)
 {
  //do something
}​

You need indicatorname applied on chart. Still 95% of the time you are better off following Chelsea's advice of using plot values.
