Call different indicator based on instrument

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

Is it possible to call a different indicator based on the Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name?

For example if Instrument is ES then use this.PFRES().Last or if
Instrument is TF then use this.PFRTF().Last etc.

Is there a way that this can be done?

I need to just do this once as I would be calling this specific indicator more then a few times across many lines of code?

Appreciate the help.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name is a string so you could do an if statement or a switch case statement to call an indicator based on the instrument.

A simple statement like the following could be used:

double value = 0;
if(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ES")
{
value = SMA(12)[0];
} else if(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "NQ")
{
value = EMA(12)[0];
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.

//declare the indicators as class objects of the relevant type
private RSI theRSI;
private SMA theSMA;
private int Period = 21;

//Assign them in OnStartUp(), based on conditions
if(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "ES")
{
theRSI= RSI(Period, 1);
} 
else if(Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "NQ")
{
theSMA = SMA(Close, Period);
}
