Indicator plot value in a strategy returning different value
In trying to access an indicator plot value in a strategy, the value returned in the strategy is different from the the value being plotted by the same indicator running seperately. Indicator and strategy are running on data series, ES 1 min., in different charts. The strategy appears to be returning a historical value. What do I need to do to get the correct real time plotted value from the indicator into a strategy ?Tags: None

Hello BGWTEX,
Most likely there is a difference in the chart settings between indicator and strategy. You can add indicators to strategies directly, using the add statement. This may help you allign values.

I added the following code snippet into the Initialize() section of my code:
Add(BGW_dValueAreav707_Input_V13());
The result is the same, I'm getting what is apparently a historical value, rather than a real-time value. I have attached the Indicator and Strategy codes.Attached Files

You'll want to make sure that CalculateOnBarClose is not declared in the indicator file.
This sample helps with Exposing indicator values that are not plots
You can force an update call for indicator values. This is needed for indicator values that aren't plots, so might not be what you are running into.
I ran the indicator and strategy on two different ES charts. These 3 values matched:
Indicator value
Plot from strategy
Print statement from strategy
Might need to make sure everything is aligned between the two tests - Days loaded on chart, session template, bar interval.Ryan M.NinjaTrader Customer Service
