Hello,
I would like to try a strategy with the BetterVolume indicator and I do not know how to use a variable that is in the indicator but when I call it in the strategy it does not appear

Thank you

Variable "bc"

Hello anmir55,

To be able to reference the BC variable from a hosting strategy you would have to create a user input variable in the indicator and pass this in place of BC. A good example of how you could accomplish this would be to see the SMA indicator preloaded on Ninja Trader and the Period user input. Without this you would not be able to reference the variable from a strategy.

You should see the following sample, Creating User Defined Input Parameters

Hello anmir55,

Below is a link to a video bookmarked to the creation of user inputs using the strategy builder. I would suggest watching this and then you can click view code in the builder to see how user inputs are created and passed within the script.

So you would be creating a user input of type int and passing this into the script rather than declaring int bc=0; within the script.

If you still need further assistance, I can have someone reach out with a list of third parties that would be interested in modifying the script for you or going over basic C# concepts.
