Static Variables

[I_Quant]

Hi

This is really a question for community members with C# knowledge.

I use a static dictionary to hold various levels and can access this successfully across charts etc. However it only works for real time data.

I really would like to be able to access the data across charts but also for historical data.

Is there a way to do this / a thread that I have missed?

thanks in advance..

Hello I_Quant,

How are are you current accessing the values?

[I_Quant]

I have this sequence.

Indicator (A) that does nothing but setup the static dictionary as follows

static Dictionary <string, double> dict = new Dictionary <string, double>();

The get and set are exposed through the properties...as follows (not all the code)

#region Properties
[Browsable(false)]
[Description("Get Dictionary Value")]
public double getDict(string key)
{
this uses TryGetValue to access the dictionary with the key and
returns the result

dict.TryGetValue(mpkey, out result)
}

[Browsable(false)]
[Description("Set Dictionary Value")]
public bool setDict(string key, double val)
{
dict[key] = val;
return true;
]

then Indicator (B) sets the values like this

IndicatorA().setDict("key", value);

then

Indicator (C) reads the values like this


value = IndicatorA().getDict(key);

As I say this seems to work fine for real time data, but I would like (as a first step) for
the last values set to be able to be read by Indicator C (once the data goes "historic" eg at the end of the session), and ultimately would like a whole
series of values based on prior historical data to be readable across charts etc.

Hello I_Quant,

Thanks for that snippet.

Using the Dictionary is unsupported so I would not be able to say what to expect, but with that said have you tried using a Try Catch block for your getDict() method to see if it is returning an error or the actual value historically?

I hope you don't mind me restating my original question as I knew that it was aimed at the C# help community here rather than Ninja staff per se.
