    How to access indicator in a strategy

    I have a strategy where I would like to use many indicators.

    If I take for example the ADX indicator, and instantiate an object of this type in the strategy's Initialize method and I also set CalculateOnBarClose = true; in the strategy's initialize method, then how am I able to access the value of the ADX indicator in the OnBarUpdate method?

    I notice in another thread:



    user koganam discusses having a variable as type of a class, and being able to access that variable (PricePoint in his example) directly through the instantiated object (standard object oriented programming), but the problem that I see here, is no variable in ADX to access the value of the indicator.

    MrScrillz,

    To access ADX in a strategy you can just call its value:
    double myADXValue = ADX(14)[0];

    You can create your own ADX variable as well if you want. Best place to declare is variables region and then instantiate in OnStartup().
    Variables:
    private ADX myADX;

    OnStartup:
    myADX = ADX(14);

    Access in OnBarUpdate()
    double myADXValue = myADX[0];
