Access a var from an indicator in a Strategy

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

laocoon, I'm not sure why you would see this error - what code did you use to call / integrate the Swing indicator in your strategy?

Thanks,

Hi Bertrand

Thanks for your reply. I just used this line in the variables section:
double mySwingHigh = Swing(3).SwingHigh[0];

And this one in my entry criteria:

if (High[0] >= MAX(SwingHigh,3)[0]-5*TickSize)
{
DrawArrowUp("SwingLong" + CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0]- 2*(TickSize), Color.Black);
PlaySound("Swing.wav");
}

Thanks

(Emphasis mine) Your double assignation is trying to assign an output from an indicator when the variable is initialized. The variable value changes, so you want to assign it in OnBarUpdate(), after simply declaring it in Variables.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Please declare your variable in the variables section only, then set the indicator value in your OnBarUpdate().

Got it, thanks a lot Bertrand & Koganam.
