Assigning a value to a permission signal

[Bullywig]

I would like to assign a value to permission long & short signals that are generated by an indicator I'm building.

For example, permission long prints (1); permission short prints (-1); neutral bars with no signal prints (0), or perhaps that's redundant or a given. Is there a way to accomplish this, and have it plot to the chart in a new panel so that the value can be called up potentially by a strategy?

Cheers

Hello Bullywig,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, all you need to do is to add a plot to your indicator and then assign the values to it according to your logic.
Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...s/?addplot.htm

To plot in a new panel, you will need to set the property "IsOverlay" false in the OnStateChange() method during State.SetDefaults.

You will be able to reference the indicators plot in a strategy, either through Ninjascript or the strategy builder.

Hello Bullywig,

I've created a short video on adding a plot and then setting its values for use as a signal:
