Call values from a custom indicator I purchased

[cre8able]

I purchased some custom indicators and would like to use the output in a custom indicator that I want to write.

These indicator can be used in Bloodhound and I can see the values in the data window, so I am assuming the outputs are public. But as an example, I thought that if I did the following I could pull IT_SpeedTick into my indicator.

if(IT_SpeedTick().Threshold1[0] > 0)
BackBrush = Brushes.White;

I thought that would get me the output of the Threshold1 variable.

But I get an error that says "The name 'IT_SpeedTick' does not exist in the current context.





Also, the IT_PullBackAlert doesn't show any output in the data window. It prints an icon on the bar where it's true. Does that mean its a boolean? And how would I read that value into my custom indicator?

any help is appreciated

Intelli-prompt does find IT_SpeedTick, if that help

Do I have to pass all the parameters to the indicator that I am calling to get it to work?

[cre8able]

When I pass the parameters that I see in the data box, I get a message that I'm missing an argument. Is that the instrument and period? If so, how do I pass them in the parameter list?

Hello cre8able,

I first suggest that you contact the vendor or author that distributes this software for instructions on how to use their software in a NinjaScript Strategy or Indicator.

That said, type the method name and add parenthesis, place the cursor between the parenthesis and press Ctrl + Shift + Spacebar to open the intelliprompt.

What overload signatures are you seeing in the intelliprompt?

Hey Chelsea

I get the yellow frame but no signatures when I Ctrl + Shift + Spacebar

any sugestions?

Hello cre8able,

The vendor should just be able to tell you what the overload signatures are.

However, you might try the same using Visual Studio if you have it installed. (Click the Visual Studio icon on the NinjaScript Editor toolbar)
