Access indicator's public variable value

[binwang2]

Hi NT experts,
There is an indicator LinRegSlopeSFX in the file shareing indicator postion.
I would like to use its slop value in a strategy. It is declared as a public varibale in LinRegSlopeSFX.
Any way to do that?

You would either need to make it a plot so it can be accessed (aka MyIndicator.MyIndicatorPlotValue) or you can also expose internal calcs with the concept shown in this sample -

Exposing Strategy variables to Indicators

Hi Bertrand
I am trying to do the opposite (I think thats what you would call it)

My strategy takes 1 position at a time, long or short --- and checks the current state using Position.Quantity

When I have an open position, I would like my indicator to stop printing messages to the output window

something like:
if (Position.Quantity > 0)
do nothing
else
print a bunch of stuff to the output window


I know I cannot uses Open.Position from the indicator -- but I'm thinking I can pass a value from the strategy back to the indicator

is this possible?
thanks

Unfortunately this is not supported, as strategies do not allow cross communication. I think you could achieve what you want by reading / writing values from / to text files.
