Indicator value accessible in strategy

[sdauteuil]

I created a simple indicator calculating the last swing high and low. See attached

How do I make these values accessible in a strategy?

I looked at the bollinger indicator that comes with NT which has access to Upper Middle Lower
I see these values are under the OnBarUpdate() and #region Properties

When I used the wizard to create the indicator #region Properties was not created.

I reviewed the help guide https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...alues_that.htm
and reviewed the SampleBoolSeries indicator.

It looks like I need to create a price series.

How do I get the wizard to create the Properties?


Thanks in advance

Hello sdauteuil,

For a strategy to use the value you would generally want to use a Plot. What you have is a single double variable.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/addplot.htm?zoom_highlightsub=addplot

From the indicator wizard you can add a Plot and that will generate the necessary public property for the strategy to use. Then your code would stay basically the same, you would only need to change how you assign the value:

SwingHigh[0] = High[1];

I look forward to being of further assistance.
