if I have indicator1 on the price chart and indicator2 in a separate panel.

Other than using files, what's the best way for indicator1 to access simple data in indicator2?

Indicator1 can make an indicator2 and access that.

Use the constructor.

Any and all data that you want to read external to the class/indicator, you should expose as public.

ok so would need to run 2 indicator2's?

Your original question implies that you are running the 2 indicators.

Hello futurenets,
Thanks for posting today.

The methods and ideas sledge and koganam have provided will allow you to do what you are trying to accomplish.

Any indicator can access data from another indicator by simply calling it in the indicator method call as the input series.

Here is a sample code from the help guide.

// Printing the current value of the 20 period simple moving average of a 14 period RSI
// using a data series of closing prices
double value = SMA(RSI(Close, 14), 20)[0];
Print("The current SMA value is " + value.ToString());

Here is a link to help guide documentation on valid input data for indicator methods. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._indicator.htm

Use the constructor.

Even then the data from indicator2 must be exposed as public if it is to be accessible.

ok thanks. to summarize ...

a chart with IndicatorA and IndicatorB where IndicatorA needs access to IndicatorB data then easiest solution is for IndicatorA to construct another instance of IndicatorB.
