Indicator as input

[Hawk Arps]

I am trying to make an indicator that allows the user to choose other indicators as an input parameter. ie I could choose and configure Stochastic, RSI, or some other indicator as a Data Series input parameter for my custom indicator. How do I create an input like this?

Hawk Arps, the main NT user interface has already a selection for an input series, you can just drive your calculation logic using Input[x] to take advantage of that.

Thanks... however, your response doesn't quite get to the question I am asking. I do not need to know what oscillator will be the input series that drives the indicator calculations. Instead, I want to create a divergence indicator that allows the user to select which oscillator will be used to identify the divergence. Can I use a string input in my indicator which describes the oscillator and its parameters and then somehow convert that string variable into a call to that oscillator?

You would need to create your own logic to interpret the input.
Likely would want to use something like a switch: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.80).aspx

If you want to allow to allow for the use of any indicator it would likely be best to use the input method Bertrand mentioned and then add a secondary series for the price data.

Alternative to using string inputs you could use Enum: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3420
