Access to the indicator through reflection

[jshapen]

Indicator ind=SMA(14);

This code works fine
Now I'm trying to do the same using reflection (I don't know the name of the indicator)

Type type=Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType("NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.Indicator");
MethodInfo mi = type.GetMethod("SMA",new Type[] { typeof(Series<double>), typeof(int) });
Object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
Indicator ind2=(SMA)mi.Invoke(obj, new object[] { BarsArray[0],14 });

The object is normally created and has the same data buffer ( ind.Value.Length=ind2.Value.Length )
but when I try to access the data

double d=ind2[0];

I get error
'SMA' tried to load additional data. All data must first be loaded by the hosting NinjaScript in its configure state

Can you help me with this?

Or maybe there is another way to access the indicator without knowing its name in advance?

For those who interested in using reflection. You don't need activator, you just invoke NT generated methods:

using System.Reflection;

                Type type = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType("NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.PriceActionSwing.PriceActionSwingOscillator");
                  MethodInfo methodInfo = type.GetMethod("PriceActionSwingOscillator", new Type[] { typeof(SwingStyle), typeof(int), typeof(int), typeof(bool), typeof(Show), typeof(bool), typeof(bool), typeof(bool), });


                if (methodInfo != null)
                {
                    PriceActionSwingOscillator2 = (PriceActionSwingOscillator)methodInfo.Invoke(this, new object[] { SwingStyle.Ticks, 1, 1, false, Show.Trend, true, false, true });
                    Print(PriceActionSwingOscillator2.RTUpTrend[1]); //indicator's iseries
                }
