Wrong plot indicator values

[joe jack]

So I have a strategy that needs to pull values from my indicator "myindicator". I added the indicator to my strategy like so add(myindicator( x,y,z) ); It looks perfect on the chart, but when I pull double values from the indicator plot line "downtrend" like thus myindicator( x,y,z).downtrend[0]. it shows nothing but 0's. Things I already checked there both on CalculateOnBarClose= true, all the settings match, I tried changing downtrend[1], and with no luck. Any ideas?

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

Please see this forum thread on how to do this:

Right well I did lots of searching before I posted, and that link came up many times. I've already tried it, with no luck. I even made a bool series like the one in the example, and set it to true when a signal happened. When I try to display the bool series in the strategy it shows false for all values. Even stranger is that I made it display the values in the indicator, but they show correct values.

Hello,

Are you sure that you have enough data loaded for the indicator to calculate?

If so can you try the sample, does it work for you?

If so please send me your script to support at ninjatrader dot com and reference this forum post and we will give it a quick run. We do not normally debug scripts but I can give it a quick look to see what is missing as I know debugging code can be frustrating.
