How to use imported homemade indicators in another indicator/system ?

[After]

Hi everybody,

I would like to know how to use an indicator I imported in another indicator. I don't find any key-word to do this but I guess there is one ?

Thanks a lot !

Hello After,

Thank you for your note.

Could you please elaborate on what you mean by imported into another Indicator?

Are there two classes in one script trying to act like two separate indicators?

Thanks for your answer !

I imported a supertrend indicator from the member tradr (http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=46818)

I would like to use it in my indicator without copy/past its code but just by "calling it" thanks to the name of the indicator.

After,

You would call it like another indicator within NinjaScript.

So, like calling SMA(14)[0].
The 14 is an overload property that needs to be passed through for the Indicators' calculations.

With the SuperTrend -
SuperTrend(int lenght, double multiplier, bool showArrows)

Example -

Print(SuperTrend(5, 2.5, true)[0]);

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks Cal !

But for example if i would like to use this one :

http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showpost.php?p=135250&postcount=272

When I load it from the chart I have to choose :

Supertrendmode, period, multiplier, ma, smoothingperiod

Why if I write in my code TSSuperTrend("Adaptive", 8,2,"SMA",14).UpTrend[0] it doesn't work ? How could I know how write the "calling" ?

thanks very much

After,

NinjaScript editor does have a built in Intellisense. When you type your (, this will start the Intellisense. If you don't see it, Ctrl + Shift + Space will bring up Intellisense for the current method/class that you are in with the typing cursor

Not a bad idea ! Cool

But for example here I have to load "maType" and another one strange. It doesn't accept "HMA" or a number like 2. How could I do ?

Thanks

Look in the PropertyGrid for valid values, or open the indicator code, and read what values are valid.

I checked the Supertrend code to find the right function but look at this, I tried different thing but still doesn't work. I guess there is something wrong

Looks like you need a "using" statement for the namespace that holds your primitives, or you need to use the FQPN.

Hi After

Could part of the problem be that you're referring to TSSuperTrend, which may be slightly different from the usual SuperTrend indicator?
