nin012, welcome to our forums - you would need to work with a MultiSeries script here to be able to Add() dataseries and use it in your calcs - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nstruments.htm

Forum user kdoren kindly shared his index and spread indicator works in our sharing section here, this would be a good start likely for your custom tasks outlined - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...=spread&desc=1

Thanks,

Bertrand download the indicator you reference but how to use the indicator for inputting to other indicator bollinger band or other custom indicator?

nin012, NinjaTrader can do 'indicator on indicator' calculations from the user interface, so you can for example calculate your MACD on this custom spread indicator.

For more info how to do this, please see this link from our helpguide, http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...indicators.htm

Specifically the 3rd section explaining the 'Indicator Input Series' as well.
