Wrapper Function for Indicators?

[Serac]

Hi all,

How can I write a wrapper function around a call to an indicator? Some indicators have a lot of inputs, and I call these indicators many times in a strategy. I would like to call the indicator once in a generic function, and then call the function in my strategy.

I tried this in my strategy, but the compiler complains:

private DataSeries GetMyIndicatorA ()
{
return MyIndicatorA(Input, ParamA, ParamB, ... ParamZ);
}

private DataSeries GetMyIndicatorB ()
{
return MyIndicatorB(Input, ParamA, ParamB, ... ParamZ);
}

and later in the strategy, for example...

if (CrossBelow(GetMyIndicatorA,GetMyIndicatorB, 1))
{
DoStuff();
}

I have done this in other languages, but C# is new to me. Or is this a DataSeries type / Ninjatrader thing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am guessing there is a more sophisticated way to do this, but I am used to this method, and I like to keep things simple.

Thanks!

You can just create an object for your indicator.

For example, let us say you are using Stochastics.

In variables:

private Stochastics myStoch;

In Initialize():

myStoch = Stochastics(7, 14, 3);

In OnBarUpdate():

if (myStoch.D[0] > 70)
     // Do something;

Beautiful!

Thanks, Josh.
