DLL is sharing memory

[bubblegum]

Hi,

I have an indicator calling a custom DLL. It all works fine. But when I run the indicator on a second chart it is apparent that the two indicators are sharing the same instance of the DLL. The indicators are overwriting each others data.

How do I do this so that each indicator runs it's own instance of the DLL? Or what information can I pass to the DLL so that it can uniquely identify each indicator that calls it? (Having multiple copies of the DLL is not an option).

Thanks

Hi bubblegum,

This depends on how your dll is coded. Unfortunately we can't support the functionality for custom dlls.

I appreciate you don't support custom DLLs. But how would I uniquely identify an indicator? Is there a word with an ID that is unique to that indicator on that chart?

There's no supported technique for capturing an unique indicator ID. To see how we use dlls in our framework: You can export standard NinjaScript files as an assembly and import it back in (being sure to remove source before import). Each time you apply the indicator will be a unique instance.

There may also be a C# solution available. Hopefully other community members can share their experience.

That was informative, but unfortunately I'm using DLLImport.

I know another way.

Thanks
