Separating chart reading and trade logic / dependencies between script

[Pvtrade]

I would like to separate my bar reading logic from the actual trading logic and put them in different script.

By doing so, it would allow me to maintain all chart reading variables and logic on 1 place and then use (re-use) it in all my actual strategies.

It would have to look like this (this is pseudo code, I know there are syntax errors in it)

Script 1: The chart reading logic

// define variables
public double GlobalVar1;
public double GlobalVar2;

public void ReadBars()
{
GlobalVar1 = Close[0];
GlobalVar2 = High[0];
}


Script 2 (an actual strategy holding trade logic):

OnBarUpdate()
{
ReadBars();
If (GlobalVar1 > Close[1])
{
// do something
}
}


Script 3 (another actual strategy holding trade logic):

OnBarUpdate()
{
ReadBars();
If (GlobalVar2 > Close[1])
{
// do something
}
}

Could anyone help me how to structure this and how to define the dependency between the 2 scripts (e.g. with 'use' or other techniques)

Many thanks,
Philip

Make "script 1" as a "partial class" of the Strategy class. Then access the methods and variables in the manner that you have already shown.
