Using Update() to pull DataSeries from Indicator

[zeller4]

Hello,

I've seen the BoolSeries sample indicator and strategy. My indicator DataSeries has the Update(); in properties as follows:

[Browsable(false)]		[XmlIgnore()]	public DataSeries Signal
	{	get { Update();return _signal; }	}

My Plot I'm tracking for this example is the current value of Values[7].
Since Update() cannot be used in strategies, I'm trying to find the best method for getting current values.
I want to "reacquire" the current value of the Plot or DataSeries from the indicator to reassign values in the Strategy.

ie,

if (_myIndi.Signal.ContainsValue(0) && 
Signal[0] == 1 &&
_myIndi.Values[7].ContainsValue(0))
{
	limitOrderPrice = _myIndi.Values[7][0] + 0*TickSize;

What line(s) of code do I need to add / modify to ensure the current indicator value can be adjusted in the strat every time there's a new bar or new tick update? I'm using COBC = false.

Thanks,
Kirk

Hi Kirk,

Update() is not required for any *Series values. These classes hold internal logic that ensure that the OnBarUpdate() method of the indicator is processed prior to accessing the current bar’s value. This guarantees you will receive up-to-date values when retrieving the calculations.

You may want to follow the model in that sample though, where the private variable is used within the indicator code, and this is linked to a public variable that you could access from other scripts.
