Exposing Boolean variables from Indicator for a strategy

[Spiderbird]

Okay, so I have a very dumb and hopefully simple question to answer:

I'm trying to expose two true/false variables to a strategy that calls my custom indicator. What I can't figure out is how I should code it from the indicator-side of things.

1. How should user variables be set for two Boolean values within the indicator?
2. If called out in an 'if' statement in the indicator, how should I properly set that variable (true/false)
3. How should this variable be referenced in the strategy?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hello Spiderbird,

Thank you for your note.

You would want to use a Boolseries for this case.

This will work like a DataSeries except that it only uses True/False and you can index it like a DataSeries as well.

That was it!

Hi Cal,

Thanks for that! I was on the right track originally, but was setting my variables incorrectly. This is what my code eventually looked like in cliff-noted form (for others to reference JIC)

#region Variables
	public BoolSeries UpArrow;
	public BoolSeries DownArrow;
#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
        UpArrow = new BoolSeries(this);
	DownArrow = new BoolSeries(this);
 }

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (Trend [0] && !Trend[1])
{     UpArrow.Set(true);    }

else
{     DownArrow.Set(true);     } 

}
