    Return values of an indicator

    Hello
    I am developping a cusotm indicator and went through your 7 examples. Still, one question is open: Where do I define the return value?
    E.g., in your "indicator on indicator" example the return value is a double. But where is this defined? The indicator is only plotted, but it seems a value is returned. What if I want to return an int value? Or if I want to return an array?

    thanks & regards

    Andre,

    You set a value to the plot. The plot value is what is returned when you call the indicator from another indicator or a strategy. That value is always a double since plots hold doubles. If you want to have additional values that are able to be returned you will have to expose those other objects separately. Please see this example: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4991
