create an object or class

[eurostoxx trader]

I was wondering if there was a way to create an object (or class i guess in C#) that would allow me store variables. For example I have this code

if (condtionA == true)
{
objectA = new objectA();
objectA.time = current_time
objectA.entry_price = close[0];
objectA.MA_level = ma(20);

etc
}

the reason I need an object is that I store the objectA in an array and create a new object everytime the condtion occurs so I can store local information and preform calculations on the objects data.

Any ideas how to do this in Ninja (i was previously doing it in javascript which allows for simple object creation in the script, not as a class)

eurostoxx trader, I'm not familiar with JavaScript unfortunately, but to store data we offer so called Series objects, for example for double values - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ries_class.htm

There int, bool, long, float, string and datetime series though available as well.

You could though use an Array / ArrayList from C# as well.

Thank bertrand

Do you know if I use an array list (great suggestion I forgot about those) can I re-use the same variable ...

for example going back to the example

// in the bar update part

if (condtion1 = true)
{
ArrayList object_holder new ArrayList() // can i declare the variable here?
object_holder.Insert( numbers etc ) // or add
object_holder.insert(string values)
}

if (condtion 2 = true)
{
object_holder = "finished"
object_holder_array.Add(object_holder) // also another array list i guess
}

You would declare the list for example in your Initialize() and then fill in the OnBarUpdate() on your condition. You can add to the list from two conditions or if you would like to separate them fill two lists, up to you. We can't really support working out the bits & pieces with those more general C# classes, but there are some good example also found here on the forums posted by other members.

1. Create a new namespace
2. Create a struct to define your primitives, in the namespace
3. Use the namespace in the indicator
4. Create and use struct variables for your data in the indicator

ninjascript is all C# so you can do whatever you like. a private or internal class is most often used, but if you serialize the same (or the same is one of the properties) then you have to create a separate namespace as koganam said.
