Dataseries Questions ???

[RJay]

Open questions to anyone,

Nt provides a number of dataseries when creating an indicator with the wizard.

Depending on the number of plots, dataseries: values[0], Values[1], Values[2], and Values[3] are created by NT.

There are also a number of input data series created. Open, High, Low, Close, Volume, Median and Typical, and Input.

Now for my questions:

1 - What specific information does the "Input" series contain? I can't find any info on this. Am I misunderstanding what this is used for?

2 - Are there any other dataseries that are built with the indicator wizard not listed here?

3 - If I'm not using some of these dataseries, can I seize them to use for custom dataseries storage programming? Or can they be disabled?

This would ease up the volume of data being stored.

Thanks,

RJay

Hello,


1- This link has information on Input:

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/Input.html

Basically if you have PriceTypeSupported set to true the user can select from these price types:
Close, High, Low, Median, Open, Typical

2- There aren't any DataSeries built in the Wizard, but you can use different DataSeries in the Wizard. This link has more information DataSeries:

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/DataSeriesObject.html

You cannot seize up or disable any of the predefined DataSeries such as the ones listed in #1 above.

There are other Series such as:
BoolSeries and DateTimeSeries

3- Yes, you can use DataSeries to store data within your custom indicator or strategy. Use the link above.

Thanks for the link,

I see...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Input represents the input data source of the indicator.

If you implement an indicator where PriceTypeSupported is set to true, then when referencing the input data source value, you will want to reference Input[0] instead of Close[0].

This is because Input[0] will return the data value of the selected.

Don't know how I couldn't index search this ...

This definitely clears a few things up.

Thanks,

RJay
