Custom indicator must calculate but not show

[pakricard]

Hi:

In a custom indicator I want a DataSeries to be calculated, but not shown, displayed on screen. Just data available to be read from a strategy. Where can I find an example?

Drwaing transparent is not an option as values are -1, 0, 1, and indicator has other plots overlaid with price.

Thanks.

pakricard, Plots would just be convenient to work with since they are per default exposed and accessible, however for your use you would just custom expose a signal series / variable then as per this example - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4991

Thanks Bertrand!

I copied the BearIndication idea in your example but used a DataSeries instead of BoolSeries as I need 3 states (-1, 1, 0).

It complies, works, BUT I can't read the data from the DataSeries from Data Box. Is there a way to get it?
Another detail, can I read the DataSeries from a strategy as is?

I attach the indicator. Hope you can check the issue better.

BTW. Where can I find all these examples you use all over the forum? Do you have ant "example index"?

The custom series would not be displayed in the databox, only Plots would be shown here - so would you see would be expected, it would then really only be available for script access.

Strategies would not cross communicate, so here a series could not be exposed this way.
