Using 3rd party indicators in another indicator

[eDanny]

If I want to use the data from a 3rd party indicator, which I can't see in "Tools/Edit NinjaScript/Indicator", but can access to apply to my chart, that has a name preceded by a blank space, how would I do it? A statement like this: Print( NameHere(6,12).Values[0]); returns an error "The name 'NameHere' does not exist in the current context" when I try to compile. How do I insert the space character?

eDanny,

You will need to ask the author who created that indicator. We would not know how the author has named his indicator.

So you are saying this:

public class NameHere : Indicator

may be a different name than the one I see in the Indicators window from the chart?

The author may not be happy to share that kind of info with me even though I have paid good money for it.

eDanny,

Display name can be different. That is correct.

Thanks Josh. Still the question is, if the name is like I said, with a blank space as the first character, how could I access that?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

How are you determining there is a blank space? You can't create an indicator with a blank space anywhere in the name.

It is in the beginning of the list alphabetically and is indented one character size.

It must have a line similar to this:
[Gui.Design.DisplayName(" GlueSwing (High/Low)")]

The list does not display indicator names. It displays whatever they set it to display. If you are seeing a white space we know they are already using a GUI display name so that is not the name of the indicator file. Unfortunately I cannot assist you any further. You will just need to ask the original author.

Ok thanks, I understand now how that works.
