Accessing Data from custom Indicator

[murfinp]

Hi

I have a custom indicator thar keeps various lists of data dynamically so I don't want to create a new instance of the indicator each time I want to access data from it ... the lists it maintains need to stay in memory and be updated in background and not reset each time I access the data series provided from the indicator

so if I place the following code in the initialize function

MyCustomIndicator myCustomIndicator = MyCustomIndicator(parm1, parm2, parm3);

Will the indicator work away in background keeping all its internal data so when if I say

if (myCustomIndicator.myDSName[0] == 1)

the calc the indicator is doing will be based on the lists it is maintaining?

Or even better can I access data from the indicator I have added to the strategy window via the Add(myIndicator) call?

Thanks

Hi Paul, yes you can access internal indicator data for reference, for this please review this reference sample - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4991

Hi Bertrand

Thanks .. so by making the Add(myIndicator) call it sets my indicator up and running and puts it on my strategy chart and then making a series public I can access it in RT ... one thing how can I be sure the indicator is updated before the strategy looks at the data?

Thanks

The exposed dataseries objects will be in sync and updated, if you need this for a non dataseries one, just use Update() to make sure you get the current value returned.
