Making indicator value accessable to new indicator

[NinjaTrader_AlanP]

Hello Pete77,

Without the UncleFrank code I’m unable to diagnose what the issue is.

If you’d like to upload the UncleFrank.cs file I will take a look.

I wish I could do that, but the code or I should say the idea for the code is from a third party. Meanwhile I forgotten how to load a strategy onto my chart, strategy is grayed out on my right click menu. Can you help with that? You have been very helpful and I appreciate it.

Hello Pete77,

Without the code I’m unable to debug or offer suggestions as to the issue. I would suggest you contact the third party in regards to your question.

Regarding adding a strategy to a chart, you should confirm that Chart Trader is disabled by right clicking on the chart>properties and making sure Show Chart Trader is set to false. Note, if chart trader is enabled you can not add a strategy to the chart.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks, I will take you up on your offer.

UF1 is the host. I wish to access two variables from UF1to use in the UF3 indicator in order to create an alert. I need to use the second indicator in order to get tick by tick. The main program, UF1, works best if CalculateAtBarClose is set to true.

If I uncomment the two lines in UF3 I get an error message "Unable to access top1 due to protect level" or "UF1 is a type but is being used as a variable".

Your help will be appreciated.

Hello Pete77,

Your commented out lines are referencing UF().top1, top1 is a private variable in UF1. If you use a capitalized T in Top1 to refer to the public variable Top1 you should be able to compile without error.

For example,

if(CrossAbove(Close, UF1().Top1, 1))
Print(UF1()Top1);
