Sample Code

[dmking]

Is there any sample code that demonstrates the use of a 3rd party or independently developed indicator?

TIA

Hello dmking,

The user app share would be a good location for this type of request. There are many custom indicators listed there, and the straetgy section specifically would be a good location to find sample code of calling custom indicators.

One example can be found in the strategy section, this strategy has a few custom indicators that come with it and are used from its code. Here is a public link: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...kout-strategy/

Nearly all indicators use the same syntax to call them, there are generally two overloads:

IndicatorName(Any,Parameters,It,Needs)
IndicatorName(Series, Any,Parameters,It,Needs)

Then plots or other methods can be called from the instance:

IndicatorName(Any,Parameters,It,Needs)[0] // default plot
IndicatorName(Any,Parameters,It,Needs).SomePlot[0] //specific plot
IndicatorName(Any,Parameters,It,Needs).CustomMethod() //custom method, see zigzag for an example

The Series overload depends if the script was programmed to accept a series.



I look forward to being of further assistance.
