Indicator/Strategy relationship

[Widgetman]

Hi,
I have a question about the relationship between the indicator and strategy.
If I have a variable called trigger that is updated in a indicator when the opupdate() fucntion is serviced, and I reference that variable in a strategy, how does it get updated within the strategy. I created a simple test strategy and setup a condition based on the variable. What I am seeing is it never gets passed over to the strategy. Is there a specific way I must access it after I have used the add Trigger() in the strategy ?

I hope this makes sense what I am asking
Thanks

Widgetman, did you expose this variable to be acccessed from the strategy? This reference sample will show you how this is accomplished - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4991

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure I have exposed it in the strategy by doing a ADD( FunctionName(Trigger)) in the init routine. I then check the state of the variable by doing a if FunctionName.Trigger == x, but I get a error CS0119 when I try to compile. I looked in the help and there is no help data for this error. Any ideas ?
Thanks

It would be helpful if you can post your code snippet so we can take a look, also I think you would want to expose the variable in the indicator not in the strategy.

Hi,
Thanks for the help. My code is so convaluted it would be hard to trace thru. Is there a simple strategy example available that uses a simple indicator which checks a variable in the indicator itself ? I looked thru a few but did not see any examples using a specific variable from the indicator as a trigger.
Thanks

I'm unfortunately not aware of a more specific one than this from our helpguide Widgetman - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...V6/Update.html
