Indicator value set and get question (n00b)

[Wataizo]

Please correct my understanding of the following:

I set an indicator's value with
Value.Set = High + 3;

and I can get "previous bar" values of the indicator by
double foo = Value.Get(0); //gets current value
foo = Value.Get(1); //previous bar?

From the manual it implies I could also
double foo = Values[1]; // previous bar?

Thanks!

Hi Raj,

Always use for setting:

Value.Set(High[0] + 3);

For getting, always use:

Values[int barsAgo]

Comparing Values

Ray, hi,
Thanks for the advice.
I am setting the indicator value with what should be a "double", such as

double foo = ...some math...;
Value.Set(foo);


Then I want to compare current/previous-bar indicator values, for example,
if((Values[0] > Values[1]) & (Values[1]< Values[2]))
{. . . }

But I get the compiler warning
"Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'NinjaTrader.Data.DataSeries and NinjaTrader.Data.DataSeries"

So I'm still doing something wrong. Thanks again for your help!
Regards,
Raj

"Values" is an array that holds DataSeries objects so you are comparing a DataSeries object in slot 0 to one in slot 1. What you need to do is something like:

Values[0][0] > Values[0][1] && Values[0][1] > Values[0][2]....
