Market Analyzer Strategy Builder

[tunabomb]

Hi, was wondering if it would be possible to develop an indicator that can access another indicator's value and compare it to the last price for use in Market Analyzer and Strategy Builder, using +1 and -1.

Thanks

Hello tunabomb,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, you could create an indicator that adds a plot to the indicator using the AddPlot() method. You could then access another indicator's value using the system indicator method of the indicator you want inside the custom indicator to compare that value to the last close price (Close[1]) or current close price (Close[0]) and assign a value of 1 or -1 to the custom indicator's plot.

The indicator's plot could then be referenced in a NinjaScript strategy in the Strategy Builder. You could also add the indicator as a Column to the Market Analyzer window.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
