Two instruments and Indicators for both of them

[greed999]

How can I access indicators for both instruments? Should indicator be specified in Initialize method right after the instrument? What if indicators are the same, how can I define my variable as an indicator value referencing one of the instruments? Should chart window be opened automatically in case I have an indicator defined?

Hello,

You can only add an indicaitor for the primary data series with NinjaScript.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you, Brett, for your quick answer. However, can I hardcode first instrument in a script somehow? Or first instrument is to be defined during strategy startup?

Always defined by the user in strategy startup.

What if i need a variable from indicator? Can the definition be done this way?

tmp1=MyIndicator1(6,8,9).SpanLineA[0];
tmp2=MyIndicator1(6,8,9).SpanLineB[0];

If you need a variable you would want to follow this sample on how to do this.

Is it appropriate to add
if (Historical) return;
into OnBarUpdate() for fast strategy start when indicators are being used?

You can however if you will want to run test make sure it doesn't alter your indicator values. Some indicators/strategies need the historical data to run on. Would want to test it and compare the differences in your strat.
