Adding/plotting an indicator with harcoded period into/from strategy

[ma5ter]

I need an indicator in strategy with hard coded period..

The below strategy code
-----------------------
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
MyIndicator(BarsArray[1], Period).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;
Add(MyIndicator(BarsArray[1], Period));
}
---------------------
Throws exception: Failed to call method 'Initialize' for strategy 'MyStrategy': 'BarsArray' property can not be accessed from within 'Initialize' method

Questions:
- Is there a way to add an indicator into strategy with specific Period?
- How to plot such an indicator (with hardcoded period) from a strategy?

Thanks for help,
Alex.

Alex, please move the parts accessing BarsArray to the OnBarUpdate().

To add a hardcoded indicator just do something like this -

Add(CCI(20));

For customizing plots, color and panels, please see this -

Hi Bertrand,

How to plot an indicator for additional bars object that I add in initialize() method.

protected override void Initialize()
{
   Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
}

Now I can use the new bars objects with my custom indicator

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
   MyIndicator(BarsArray[1], 10)
}

But how to plot it?? Following does not work:

MyIndicator(BarsArray[1], Period).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Blue;

ma5ter, on NinjaTrader 6.5 multiseries indicators are unfortunately not supported - this is only possible for strategies - the same concept will be available for indicators in NinjaTrader 7 -
