Calling another indicator in its entirety

[2Look4me]

I have two indicators, Indicator A and Indicator B.
From 8:30am to noon I would want Indicator A to execute and from noon on, I would want Indicator B to execute.

Is it possible to call for the entire indicator or only the variables of the indicator can be called? If affirmative, what would be the syntax for calling the entire indicator, because I am getting a compile error "No overload for method "Testing" takes "0" argument"

Thanks in advance

2Look4me, generally this should be possible as you can retrieve any exposed values such as plots from a called study as well. You would just need to pass in the parameters when calling it as seen in the Intellisense signature of the method overload.

i.e.

YourIndicator(ParameterA, ParameterB, ....).SomePlotValue[0]

Is the following possible:

YourIndicator(if before noon) {Indicator A}
else if (after noon) {Indiator B}

But instead of calling in some plot values or variables from Indicator A and Indicator B, I would like to execute Indicator A and indicator B in its entirety?

You cannot execute an object. You query it for values of its public properties or execute/call/run its public methods.

Hello 2Look4me,

Thank you for your response.

Please take a look at examples of indicator methods at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...indicators.htm

For an example of calling an indicator in a strategy please go to Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > SampleMaCrossOver.

Thanks for the suggestions. On the other hand instead of calling another indicator ,
Can a bool variable be declared inside an "if" statement? i.e.

if (ToTime(Time[0] >= 83000 && ToTime(Time[0] < 120000 ) {
bool Long = A>B && C>D
bool Short = E<F && G<H }

else if (ToTime(Time[0] >= 120000 && ToTime(Time[0] < 150000 ) {
bool Long = A>B && E>F
bool Short = C<D && G<H }

if (Long) { do calculations}
else if (Short) {do calculations}

Is there a good way to accomplish the above without repeating the calculations too many times if the "bool variable" changes with time?

If you write it that way, you will have a scope issue. Instead, declare your bools as class variables, and then set/unset them as necessary.

Hello 2Look4me,

Thank you for your response.

As koganam stated, set these bools first in the Variables region of the code:

        #region Variables
        private bool Long = false;
        private bool Short = false;
        #endregion

Thanks again. That helps resolve the scope issues that koganam was referring to.
