Using other values instead of iDataSeries in an indicator

[mariomaltezi]

Greetings to all NT masters,


I’m a beginner in NT with a fair knowledge of C# language.
I am also using Metastock but I would like to invest in NT because of its flexibility.
My first question is probably a silly one but I hope you will be gentle with me
I can see that there are indicators that request for an iDataSeries type as a parameter.
In many cases I need to plot the value of another indicator.
For example in Metastock I can use this formula below
ROC(MACD(),14,$)
Which is (obvious) incorrectly translated to

Plot0.Set( ROC(MACD(12, 26, 9),14));

Could you please advise ?

Best of luck,

Marios

Hello,

Thanks for the note and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum!

This is actually correct you just missing the [0] at the end so that you tell NinjaTrader you want the current value of this for the current bar.



Plot0.Set( ROC(MACD(12, 26, 9),14)[0]);

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
