Can I use indi's from dll in strategies?

[LittleBr]

Hello all, can I use results (chart lines) from proprietary indi's?

Hello LittleBr,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

We recommend that you contact the provider/vendor of the proprietary indicator to see if you are able to use in a strategy. It is possible but only if it has been coded to expose the plot lines to a strategy.

Thank you, but developers site is offline long ago (it's an old indicator from 2014). How can I check, if there are any options for using indicator in strategy coding?

Hello LittleBr,

Thanks for your reply.

You can create a strategy using the strategy wizard. In the "conditions and actions" section of the strategy wizard, on the left side select indicators and see if you can find the indicator(s) of interest.

If so, when selected look for the row "plot" and left click in it to see if the lines of interest are available. If so then you are in business.

You can build your strategy in the wizard or if you prefer you can then create in Ninjascript as the wizard when you unlock the code, would show the coding required to use the proprietary indicator.

If no plots are available then you would not be able to use the indicator.
