Custom Indicator problem

[upshon]

Hi

I have a custom indicator attached. If I add this indicator to a chart it all works as expected, however if I try to call it from another indicator or Strategy the indicator does not seem to work.

If I try to debug with Visual Studio OnBarUpdate in the indicator does not seem to be triggered when called from another indicator or strategy but does if just run from chart.

I am using some custom data types that are stored in Generic Lists and was wondering if this had something to do with it.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Mike


To Test you can try and add the following to a new Indicator

protected override void Initialize() {

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
Overlay = false;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate() {

HiLowSwing swing = HiLowSwing(5);
Plot0.Set(swing.LastHigh.Value);
}

Nice work Mike, it looks to me like there's no series or variable exposed for externally accessing any of the calc'ed values?

Thanks for your reply Bertrand.

I have added a DataSeries property and have set it every time in the OnBarUpdate method.

I now seem to have a timing issue, as when I step through using Visual Studio in debug mode it works however when I let it run normally It does not.

Thanks

Sorry My Mistake, I had not called Update() on the get of the property.

All working now. Thanks for your help.

Thanks
