So far, I get the sense that I can either write an Indicator or a Strategy and that my code must run from within one of these situations. To use the correct terminology, my script is "hosted" via an indicator or a strategy, and its context is the chart and ticker to which it is attached. Did I get this right?
The larger question for me is: can I write other types of scripts besides these?
I'd like to write a scanner that isn't attached to any particular indicator, strategy or window, but that simply runs in the background checking various instruments and notifying me of various moves on the Market Analyzer window.
Can I do this in a way that does not require me to create it as an indicator or a strategy or run it from within one of these?
I did not find any place in the doc that suggested the best practice for this, but it is quite possible I missed such a discussion. Do you have a link to doc that tackles this question?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Cheers.
