Accessing data from Multiple Symbols

[redliontrader]

I have a chart with four symbols on it and I want to access the data in NinjaScript.

I can't even get the basics to work. The following script attempts to plot the closing prices for the second dataseries on the screen but I get no values plotted.

Any help is appreciated
thanks

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
            Overlay				= false;
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
            Plot0.Set(Closes[1][0]);
        }

Hello,

Thanks for your note.

You actually cant tie NInjaScript to an already existing chart with 4 symbols on it.

You need to add this symbol into the script internally however.

Therefor to get Closes[0][1] to work, you would need to have Add("ES 03-11", PeriodType.Minute, 1); for example in your Initialize().

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Bret,

Thank you so much. That sets me straight. I also realize that I have posted in the wrong area so that is a rookie mistake, sorry.

Another quick question. Is there anyway to query parameters for the current chart that a strategy is enabled on? For instance, I am floating text on multiple indicator lines and when a user changes that line color via the parameter box I would like the text to change color to match.

redliontrader, this is unfortunately not possible per default as the strategy would not cross commnuicate.
