As always I am learning as a hack away at scripts, totally self taught, so forgive my ignorance.
I am trying to expose another indicators value by way of a public property.
Starting w/ NT's ATR Trailing Stop script from an S&C article, I tried to add a public prperty to tell me if bar[0] was the bar that hit the trailing stop, and the stops have now flipped...
either they were above the bars, and now are under, or vice versa.
I added some print lines, and it will print the correct bars time, and the expected true to the output window when the indicator is applied to a chart.
But when I try to access the property from another script, like a strategy, the property always returns false.
Why is it True in the indicator and false on the same bar as a public property?
Script exerpt follows entire ATR stops with public property attached.

Code:
else if (Close[0] > Value[1])
{
trail = Close[0] - loss;
//This bar caused StopLoss to flip from above bars to below bars, so set flippedLong to true, flippedShort to false
flippedLong = true;
flippedShort = false;
DrawArrowDown(CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 1, Value[1], Color.Orange);
Print(Time[0].ToString());
//Public Property FlippedLong will print showing it is set to true on this bar, but when this property is accessed from another script, it always
//returns false WHY?
Print(FlippedLong);
}
else
{
trail = Close[0] + loss;
flippedShort = true;
flippedLong = false;
DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString(), false, 1, Value[1], Color.Orange);
Print(Time[0].ToString());
//Public Property FlippedShort will print showing it is set to true on this bar, but when this property is accessed from another script, it always
//returns false WHY?
Print(FlippedShort);
}
Value.Set(trail);
}
