Can a Chart Indicator Access a Strategy

[thomaspartyof10]

Is it possible for a custom indicator that is added to a chart to access a strategy that is also running on that chart? Indicator.Strategy appears to be null. My guess is because it is not added to the chart from the strategy. I need to access a 3rd party strategy and send performance results to a database. I cannot change the code of the strategy. Thanks!

it could work ,if a reference is made within the strategy about the indicator.

Hello thomaspartyof10, thanks for your post.

It is not possible to access a strategy instance from an indicator, you would need to pass the data to a "middleman". See this post I made a while ago on implementing a custom class with a property changed event that other scripts can subscribe to:

If your strategy changed the property, then other scripts subscribed to the event will be notified.

Kind regards.
