Custom Indicators again ...

[murfinp]

Hi

if for example in the initialize function I add ..

Add(SampleBoolSeries(x,y,z));

and then in the update function I have

if (SampleBoolSeries(x,y,z).BullIndication[0]) EnterLong();

will the instance of SampleBoolSeries being referenced in the update function be the exact same one that is in the initialize section. It seems probably not since I could input different parameters into the two calls?

It is REALLY important for me to reference the same instance of the indicator since it is calculating data with milli-second precision using the time from the pc so I need what I see plotted and what the strategy to be acting upon to be the exact same?

Thanks

If it is the same parameters it is the same instance. Otherwise it is a new instance.

Great!

And one last thing ... if CalculateOnBarClose is to false am I correct in assuming that I should not have to call Update() in order to ensure the indicator dataseries are always up to date?

Thanks Josh

CalculateOnBarClose has no impact on when you should or should not call Update(). Please see the SampleBoolSeries reference to see when Update() is called there.
