Global Variable...

[maxpi]

Is there a way to write a variable from one strategy on one chart and have it available for reading by another strategy [or same strategy for that matter] on another chart?

My limited understanding is NO but the powers that be will correct me if I am wrong.

This is supported through C# .NET level by using static variables. We do not provide support for this.

If you're tricky (and good with writing to/reading from files), you may be able to do this...but just maybe.

In a different way, I have been using bar color to communicate between indicators on the same chart. (set barcolor in one indicator and read it in another indicator), my end goal is to use bar color as inputs to strategies (indicator to strategy communication)...but I haven't tested that aspect yet. Any risk takers out there???

There will be a reference sample up shortly that demonstrates something similar to what you want sbgtrading.

If somebody could post an example, a general case that could be copied, of a static variable for Ninja Script it would be a great thing to have...

Just add "static" to your variable definition and put it in the "#region variables" section of your indicator/strategy.

For instance:

static double common_value = 5;

I've added things like this to both indicators and strategies, and found that it can be read/written from either one.
