NT8 - AddChartIndicator from Indicator - Add indicator from indicator

[ricardo88]

Hi, I'm in Ninjatrader 8 and I would like to know if is possible to use a similar function like AddChartIndicator but from an indicator, I mean, I want to add an Indicator from another Indicator.

Thanks in advance.

Hello ricardo88,

Thank you for the post.

Currently, there is not a way to directly add an indicator to the chart from another indicator. There exists a feature request to expose AddChartIndicator in the Indicator namespace, I will add a vote for feature ID SFT-946.

Currently, we must add the indicator to the chart manually if you want the visual representation of the indicators being used in your indicator. Alternatively, you can make your own plots and plot the indicator's data, or you might have to mimic the OnRender() method of the indicator being used by your script.

Here is the documentation on AddPlot and OnRender():

Please let me know if I may answer any questions.

Thanks, for the fast reply.

While the feature ID SFT-946 is released, how can I access to tick Replay's data of an Indicator from another Indicator; for example, who can I access to SMA(20) Historical Tick Data from another Indicator.

Hello ricardo88,

Thank you for the reply.

Please see this help guide page on development for Tick Replay. At the bottom, see the header titled "Calling a Tick Replay indicator from another Indicator or Strategy"

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?developing_for__tick_replay.htm

There is an example and notes on making a host indicator aware of a tick replay indicator.

Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance.

Please add my vote for this feature ID SFT-946 to. Can it already be said if and when the function will be available?

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your vote.

SFT-946 was closed as a duplicate of SFT-899. All votes from SFT-946 were moved to SFT-899, so I've recorded your vote under that number.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.
