What value returns the indicator?

[Ironman9973]

I have an indicator and I would like to figure out what type of value this indicator returns.
If I look at the code I dont know, because it is very complex. But I would like to use this indicator in a strategy. How can I do this?

Indicator is in the attach.

Hi Ironman9973, looks like it exposes two plots / DataSeries for access in your conditions, UpTrend and DownTrend.

[Ironman9973]

And what type of value is that? Bool , double? Or how can I use it?

Thank you.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Ironman9973, it would be a DataSeries returning double values, just like any other plots.

[Ironman9973]

I tried to use the indicator in a strategy. But it did not worked. I am getting always an error message. And I dont know why. I cannot use the Uptrend or Downtrend like a double value.

Thanks

What exact error message are you getting, would you mind posting a screenshot?

Here is the screenshot.

Please try adding using TSSuperTrend.Utility; to the top 'using' section in the script.

And then just call the enums directly in the overload, so use MovingAverageType.SMA / SuperTrendMode.ATR

Then I believe it should compile for you.

I added TSSuperTrend into the utilitys section. But I dont know what you mean with call the
enums directly in the overload.

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Your enum parameter values in the TSSuperTrend method call is not correct, please try changing them to what I've outlined below.

Something like TSSuperTrend(14, MovingAverageType.SMA, 2.618, 14, SuperTrendMode.ATR) should compile then.

[Ironman9973]

Thank you very much. Now it is working.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Glad to hear that.

[Ironman9973]

I have one more question. Is there a possibility to convert Uptrend or Downtrend to bool?
I want if Uptrend is true than do something and and if Downtrend is true than do something.
Is this possibel?

Thank you.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

That would be possible to create and expose via custom coding as well, the indicator itself I believe has an internal Trend series already, however you might want to look into this study shared on BMT for NT7 - http://www.bigmiketrading.com/downlo...-download.html

It directly offers a even more versatile SuperTrend exposing the trend state directly for script access via a bool series.
