Passing an instance of an indicator to another one

[cunparis]

I need to pass the instance of my indicator to another indicator. I do this by calling a method on the second indicator and pass "this".

i2.init(this);

It works fine when everything is in .cs files.

When I compile indicator 2 (i2) into a protected assembly, then I get casting errors:

"Cannot convert from Ninjatrader.Indicator.Indicator [.. @ADL.cs] to Ninjatrader.Indicator.Indicator [.. mydll.]

It seems compiling the protected assembly changes something and there are now two separate Ninjatrader.Indicator.Indicator classes, one for the .cs files and one for the dll.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

cunparis,

Are you trying to pass a single value from one indicator to the next? Or are you looking to add (nest) the entire indicator from one to another?

If you are looking to pass a value, please refer to our reference sample on Exposing indicator values that are not plots:

I'm looking to pass the indicator instance so that I can access its properties & methods from the other one.

I know this may sound crazy but I have very good reasons for doing this (which I could explain but I don't want to overcomplicate the question).
