Accessing Data, String, Bool, etc Series

Thank you for sharing your work- around, KBJ.

I see - thanks for responding. Columns in the market analyzer can only be plots. A common approach then for the bool series is to set a plot as 1 when true and 0 otherwise.

Not true.

Market Analyzer Columns can also be a user defined DataSeries that does not plot; it just has to have a property getter method with characteristics of [Browsable(false)] and [XmlIgnore()].

I wasn't able to get this to work with a BoolSeries, but with a DataSeries it works fine.

Working code:

Protected bool Going_Up = false;
Protected DataSeries goingUp;

goingUp = new DataSeries( this );   // In Initialize()
goingUp[0] = Going_Up ? 1 : 0;       // In OnBarUpdate()

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries GoingUp
{
  get { Update(); return goingUp; }
}

Yes, the Series is Public, but where do I find it in the Market Analyzer Column setup? I find Indicator Parameters, DataSeries (Open, Close, Median, etc) and Plots, but where might I access the other Public Series?

Hello snaphook,

Yes, this is possible. You can use this reference sample as a guide:
Exposing indicator values that are not plots

Is it possible to access series other than plots in MA? If I have an indicator with a bool series that is not a plot, can I access the values held in that bool series? It appears that only plots are accessible.
