Access a method within an indicator from a strategy

[Shansen]

NT Forum,

Where an indictor (e.g. anIndicator) contains a method (e.g. aMethod()), is is possible to access that method from another indicator or strategy?

public class anIndicator : Indicator
{
  #region Variables
  #endregion

  protected override void Initialize() {
  }

  protected override void OnBarUpdate() {
    aMethod();
  }

  private void aMethod() { 		
    Print ("aMethod");
  }		
		
  #region Properties
  #endregion
}

Thanks
Shannon

Should be possible Shannon, as long as you expose it by making it public (instead of your private). For an alternate way to share methods you can check into the UserDefinedMethods options.

Bertrand,

As always, thanks for the quick response.

Where the method is exposed as public, would you call the method from an other indicator as:

anIndicator.aMethod();

Thanks again
Shannon

Correct, that's what I would expect, in any doubt - let Intellisense guide you.
