List as output of indicator

[orenshkol]

Hi,
Is it possible to define a List or Array as an output of an indicator to be then used by a strategy? If so then how can it be done?

Hello,
You could expose the indicators List or Array and then call it from your strategy.
I would recommend to review our reference sample on exposing indictor values that are not plots: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=4991

If you have any questions on the reference file please let us know.

Can you please tell me how is my syntax wrong:

In the indicator I added:

/// <summary>
/// Gets the PivotValues list.
/// </summary>
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public List<double> PivotsList
{
get {Update(); return PivotValues; }
}

And in the strategy I use:

List<double> Values = DailyPivots().PivotsList[0];


And I get the following error:

"Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<double>".

I tried to do the same thing only with a string instead of a list and got the same error:
"Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'string' ".
How do I tell it that the requested output is a string or a list and not a double? Or am I doing something else wrong?
Please help.

Hello,
So I may fully investigate can you provide your full script?
You can attach your indicator to your response by going to File > Utilities > Export NinjaScript > Export selected source files > select your Indicator > select the right arrow > Export. The file will be located under (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\ExportNinjaScript.
