Multiple DataSeries Indicator on Indicator

[Emerald King]

Hello Everyone,

I am fairly new to programming in NT, I have seen the example of Indicator on Indicator and that seems simple to understand when the second indicator has only one DataSeries in it.

What I am trying to do is this; lets say Indicator B has 4 DataSeries in it and Indicator A is trying to reference Indicator B DataSeries 4

How can I do this?

Thank you fro your Time

Hello Emerald King,

A good way to find out the syntax for multiple nested indicators is with the Strategy Wizard condition builder. You can select another indicator for the input series as many times as you like. After you've nested a few indicators you can then view the syntax by clicking view code.

This help guide article can help with this.

Example SMA nested:
SMA(SMA(SMA(SMA(SMA(20), 20), 20), 20), 20)[0]


If you're instead looking for the syntax for multi plot indicators, see this help guide article and use the same principle - Create in condition builder and then view code.

Hello Ryan,

Thanks for taking the time to post a reply. I might have posted this in the wrong forum thread. I am using the Beta of NT7 and cant find anything about the condition builder

Not What I am looking for I think

Hello Ryan,

Ok I found the Conditions Wizard and was able to try to compare my indicator to itself but still didn't see where I could select which plot to compare which plot too even when looking at the code there is no syntax to tell the complier which Plot to use.

In my Indicator I have this;

Under Variables
private DataSeries TA_Yearly; // Yearly
private DataSeries TA_Quarterly; // Quarterly
private DataSeries TA_Monthly; // Monthly
private DataSeries TA_Weekly; // Weekly
private DataSeries TA_Daily; // Daily

under the init function
TA_Yearly = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
TA_Quarterly = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
TA_Monthly = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
TA_Weekly = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);
TA_Daily = new DataSeries(this, MaximumBarsLookBack.Infinite);

Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Yearly TA"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Quarterly TA"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Monthly TA"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Weekly TA"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "Daily TA"));

Now in my second indicator, I call my first indicator like this
CD = BarInfo(Adj,N,S,UseMeta)[0];

And it always returns with the values in TA_Yearly, what I am asking is how to I call BarInfo and return with the TA_Daily?

does this make sense?
Thanks

Hello EK,

Great you found the condition builder. It's useful for indentifying syntax created in a point and click interface.

Here's a couple notes on DataSeries and plots:

• DataSeries aren't automatically exposed for other indicators.
• Plots are available, but all the components are needed. You may be missing some.

See this reference sample for exposing indicator values that are not plots.

For creating additional plots, the easiest way is with the indicator wizard. It then adds the needed properties section for specifying plots. When you create plots like this through the wizard, you can set the value of the plot without having to create DataSeries.
