Input Series

[ahrt|]

Hi,

Is there any way to load "Input Series" from within my indicator, instead of selecting it from the window?

Thanks, Alejandro

Hello ahrt|,

Thank you for the post.

I am not certain I understand the question as it has been asked.

Do you mean to load secondary data in your indicator and then use that for something?

If you have manually applied an indicator you would need to select which series you want to apply it to, there is no way around this step as you are manually applying it however it should default to the primary series.

From coding, you would generally pass in the BarsArray to an indicator or do your calculations in the BarsInProgress of the series it should use. In both cases a specific series is being used and this does rely on how the indicator was coded.

Can you provide more detail on what you mean by load the input series? I believe the answer to your question will be that you need to select the input, but I want to clairify your question as you have asked it in the Development forum.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jese,


Sorry if I'm not clear, English is not my language

What I need is that "input Series" have this value "RSI (FisherTransform (Close, 14), 14, 3)", but I want to be able to put this value from within the source code of my indicator, and not from the window.

Thanks again, Alejandro

Hello ahrt|,

In this case, you would not want to try and modify the Input in this way but instead, program your indicator to produce a value which uses the RSI/FisherTransform internally. There is no way I could suggest to select an input in this way from code, the input used in the user interface is strictly a Manaul selection. The indicator would just need to be coded to use the data you want internally.

In the indicators code, you can use RSI (FisherTransform (Close, 14), 14, 3) and then return that value as a Plot or however you wanted to display the resulting data.

For example if your indicator currently just assigned the plot to the Close value:

Value[0] = Close[0];

You could replace that with the indicators:

Value[0] = RSI (FisherTransform (Close, 14), 14, 3)[0];

I look forward to being of further assistance.
