Hello Sharkomax,

Thank you for your inquiry and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support forum!

To answer your question:

To obtain data from an indicator in a strategy, you will want to call that indicator. Here's an example to assign a variable to the current value of a 40 period SMA:

private double indicatorValue;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     indicatorValue = SMA(40)[0];
}

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.
