Accessing values from another indicator.

[rabcnesbit]

Hello NT Support (or anyone else please).

I have an indicator, in this case named KayButtons. I have "private IntSeries buttonCode;" in variables, have "buttonCode = new IntSeries(this);" in protected override void Initialize(), and in protected override void OnBarUpdate(), have "buttonCode.Set(1) or buttonCode.Set(2) or buttonCode.Set(3), depending on certain conditions. I also have the code below in properties:
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public IntSeries ButtonCode
{
get { return buttonCode; }
}


By the way, I am still a novice in NTScripts / C#. I just make do by nicking and amending snippets of codes here and there. What I wanted to do was access the value of buttonCode.Set from another of my indicators, in this case named KayStopLines3. So in KayStopLines3, I have the following code in protected override void OnStartUp(), if (KayButtons.ButtonCode == 1)

Unfortunately, I get the following error when I try to compile it:
'NinjaTrader.Indicator.Indicator.KayButtons()' is a 'method' which is not valid in this given context

Could I please request your assistance in resolving this error please?

Many thanks
Dan

ButtonCode is an IntSeries, so should be properly referenced with an index (CurrentValue == index zero). Correction is in the code.

Hello koganam,

Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion above - if (KayButtons.ButtonCode[0] == 1), but I still get the same error message when I tried to compile it.

My mistake. You have to reference the indicator with its calling parameters.

if (KayButtons(string[] Parameters).ButtonCode[0] == 1)

i.e, the calling convention is always

Class(parameter list).TypeOfSeries[int index]

Thanks koganmam.

What will be the calling parameters, i.e. what should I put inside (string[] Parameters) ?

Thanks

The calling parameters are the inputs that you have specified in the public properties for the indicator, when you coded the indicator. (i.e., any property that has a setter). Intellisense should be able to help you, if you cannot determine the correct order.
