How can I add specified session to an indicator

[asielad]

Hey
How do I get a specific plot output(not have to be a plot can either be a variable) from an indicator that i made to my strategy that gets the specified custom session time I made?

asielad, this would unfortunately not be possible, the indicator called from the strategy would use the session definitions the bars series is using which the strategy was started from.

Thanks

just to be sure...
what i want is to do something like that:

MyIndicator("ES 12-11(60 Min) <Default 24/7> ", input1,input2).Plot[10];

or something with "add" :

Add("ES 12-11(60 Min) <Default 24/7> ", PeriodType.Min, 60);

and then

MyIndicator(input1,input2).Plot[1][10];


even if is there a way to just get the data from another opened chart...
i'll happy to hear any other idea or something similar to my example

So, in other words : you would for example run a chart on the cash hours and wish to access the 24 hrs data on it as well for your calcs?

That would only be possible if you work with the Default 24/7 template for the primary series and then limit the data to use in your custom calculations, as if you add a timeframe of the same symbol it would use the primary series data including the sessions to limit memory usage. Specifying a template to use here programmatically to enhance flexibility in on our suggestion list for future consideration though.
