Hello,

I have my own indicator, i want to export the value of a variable ( variable declared as double ) to use it in another indicator,
like for example for Moving average,

thank you in advance

Without Plotting

Hello pechtri,

Thanks for your post.

This could be accomplished by creating a public Series<double> object which could be accessible in another indicator or strategy.

See this help guide page detailing how to create custom Series<T> objects: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/seriest.htm

Please see this help guide reference sample demonstrating exposing indicator values that are not plots:

The easiest way to accomplish is to add a public property.

Assuming your double variable is defined as a class level
variable, something like this,

public class MyIndy : Indicator
{
    private double myNumber;
    ...
}

you would add this code to the Properties section,

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore]
public double MyNumber
{
    get { return myNumber; }
    set { myNumber = value; }
}​

which allows the myNumber private variable to be accessed
from another indicator, via the MyNumber property, like this,

MyIndy(args).MyNumber

The XmlIgnore prevents MyNumber from being serialized and
restored to new MyIndy indicator instances. I presumed this was
unnecessary, since you probably calculate/assign myNumber
internally, right? Thus, no need to save/restore it.

The Browsable(false) attribute prevents the MyNumber property
from being added to property grid, since presumably this is not
user input, because you calculate/assign myNumber internally
already -- no need to allow user input to initialize it.

Btw, the setter is completely optional.

Make sense?
