Plots under Parameter in Condition Builder

[dwt1020]

I am sure the answer to this question is easy and probably somewhere here
in the forum but I was not able to find it.

Why are some Plots available in Condition Builder Parameters e.g MACD but some are not available e.g. ADX. I have a custom indicator that does not show the Plots in Parameters section of Condition Builder and would like to have it available..I scanned the code to see if I can make it available but it seems to be beyond my coding skills.

Thanks in Advance..

David,

Indicators with only one plot won't have plots selectable (like the SMA or ADX). Indicators with multiple plots will have this option (like the MACD).

Custom indicators will only have plots show up if programmed correctly. One section that needs to be in the code is the section at the bottom tagged "NinjaScript generated code. Neither change nor remove". If that is not there it will not work in the Strategy Wizard.

Josh,

thanks for the response. So rather than have Strategy Builder write the code to access and compare the value of a single plot I have to manually write the code to access indicators with one plot. I guess I can do that.
But it would be nice for us lazy programmers to be able to access the value within Strategy Wizard.. Maybe in the next release?

Thanks again for the response...

Hi David, you can compare the value of indicator having only one plot in the Strategy Wizard, there's just no option to select which plot to use, as there's only one available.

LOL.. OH NOW it makes perfect sense... Am I an idiot or what.

thanks so much.....
