Write the values of an indicator to a text file

[mat1024]

Dear NinjaTraders,

I am using the ninjascripts provided by this thread:

http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3477

and they are working very well.

I would like those scripts to also write the values of indicators, for example, the moving averages of the MACD.

Is this possible?

Is there any reference materials explaning how to do this?

Many thanks,

Hello,

Do you mean write the indicator value to the text file? If so, yes, it is done just like the other things you write to the text file, but write the value that is found via this:
MACD(12, 26, 9)[0]

Dear Ben,

Thank you for your reply.

This is what I meant, but how would you do it for "any" indicator displayed on the chart, like a general formula that writes the values of the indicators displayed in Panel 1, 2, 3... regardless that they are MACD, EMA, etc.

Many thanks,

Hello mat1024,

You can't set it up to write indicator data in specific panels. You have to state which indicator you would like to write to the file. This means writing out the code for the values you want written.

yeah, so you have to create a new line of code for each indicator. I have a system that does this for 180 indicators. I put it in excel and run vba code on it to develop statistical patterns. Then I implement those patterns in strategies in NS.
