Hello,

Thanks for your note.

When calling an indicator you can reference the value of that indicator for a historical bar by using a bar ago value.

For example, to find the value of the SMA(9) from 5 bars back use:

Print(SMA(9)[5]);

Below is a link to the help guide on the DataSeries Class. This is somewhat mentioned in this article.

Thank you for your reply.

I know how to access the dataseries. I guess my original question was not clear enough.

What i meant to ask was that my indicator creates many different plots on the charts. I need to access values of all those plots (lines, squares etc) But, i am only able to get value of one of them. How can i get the values of all the entities that are being plotted on the chart?

Hope this clears things.

Thanks.
Irfan.

Hi,

Thanks for clarifying that.

The plots can be found in two ways.

1) Use the Strategy Wizard. While making a condition you can specify an indicator and plot within that indicator. This will create a drop-down of the plots available. Below is a link to short video I made showing how to do this.

2) Look within the code of the indicator you are calling. The public variables will be in the Properties Region.

For example:

#region Properties
/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries Avg
{
get { return Values[1]; }
}

This is from the MACD indicator that is included with NinjaTrader. The code you see here is responsible for making the Avg line public.
