Unable to see exposed variables and plots of custom indicator

[jeliner]

I have my AddPlots Properties as follows:

        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> longVix
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }

        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> upperBB
        {
            get { return Values[1]; }
        }

        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> shortVix
        {
            get { return Values[2]; }
        }

        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public Series<double> lowerBB
        {
            get { return Values[3]; }
        }

They are plotted as follows:

                AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "Long Vix");
                Plots[0].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Bar;
                Plots[0].Width = 12;

                AddPlot(Brushes.Gray, "Long BB");
                Plots[1].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Dot;
                Plots[1].Width = 2;

                AddPlot(Brushes.Bisque, "Short Vix");
                Plots[2].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Bar;
                Plots[2].Width = 12;

                AddPlot(Brushes.Gray, "Short BB");
                Plots[3].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Dot;
                Plots[3].Width = 2;[FONT="Arial"]​[/FONT]

I have two exposed values coded as follows:

        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public Series<int> vixDirection
        {
            get { return _dirVix;  }
        }


        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public int vixCurrentValue
        {
            get { return _dirVix[0]; }
        }​

And I have setting properties as follows:

[Browsable(true), XmlIgnore]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "vixPeriod", GroupName = "Settings Vix", Order = 0)]
public int Period
{
get { return _vixPeriod; }
set { _vixPeriod = Math.Max(1, value); }
}

[Browsable(true), XmlIgnore]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "BB Period", GroupName = "Settings Vix", Order = 1)]
public int bbPeriod
{
get { return _bbPeriod; }
set { _bbPeriod = Math.Max(1, value); }
}

[Browsable(true), XmlIgnore]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "BB Std", GroupName = "Settings Vix", Order = 2)]
public double std
{
get { return _vixStd; }
set { _vixStd = Math.Max(1.0, value); }
}
​

On its own the indicator plots exactly as expected.

However, when I attempt to obtain its exposed values in either a strategy or other indicator, I don't see them. Neither am I able to pass variables to control the settings properties.

I am looking to do something like this:

     int vixDir;
     vixDir = jelTTVix(15,9,2).vixDirection;

However, jelTTVix. does not show the plots nor the exposed variables and jelTTVix() does not show the settings properties in either another indicator or a strategy.

Hello jeliner,

longVix is public and is exposed.

To confirm, does the code below in another script cause an error?
Print(elTTVix(15,9,2).longVix[0])

May I have a screenshot of the error message?

Thank you for you quick reply.

I added your statement and I received the following error when I attempted to compile:

Hello jeliner,

The issue is not with exposed properties, but an issue with the overload parameters.

What is the overload signature of this method?
(Place the cursor after the opening curly brace and press Ctrl + Shift + space bar)

Note, anything using the Browsable(false) parameter will not be included with the overload parameters.

Hello jeliner,

The issue is not with exposed properties, but an issue with the overload parameters.

What is the overload signature of this method?
(Place the cursor after the opening curly brace and press Ctrl + Shift + space bar)

Note, anything using the Browsable(false) parameter will not be included with the overload parameters.

The settings Parameters are setup as follows:

        #region SettingsProperties
        [Browsable(true), XmlIgnore]
        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "vixPeriod", GroupName = "Settings Vix", Order = 0)]
        public int Period
        {
            get { return _vixPeriod; }
            set { _vixPeriod = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }

        [Browsable(true), XmlIgnore]
        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "BB Period", GroupName = "Settings Vix", Order = 1)]
        public int bbPeriod
        {
            get { return _bbPeriod; }
            set { _bbPeriod = Math.Max(1, value); }
        }

        [Browsable(true), XmlIgnore]
        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "BB Std", GroupName = "Settings Vix", Order = 2)]
        public double std
        {
            get { return _vixStd; }
            set { _vixStd = Math.Max(1.0, value); }
        }
        #endregion​

Here are the screen shots.



Namespace, class, and inheritance also seem correct.
Do I need to create a custom constructor?



I commented out the Color Properties, just on case that was causing the issue, but i receive the same error. The color properties are the only ones with Browsable(false)

        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Up Highlight Color", GroupName = "Settings Color", Order = 0), XmlIgnore]
        public Brush UpHighlightPlotColor
        {
            get { return _uphighlightPlotColor; }
            set { _uphighlightPlotColor = value; }
        }

        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public string UpHighlightPlotColorSerialize
        {
            get { return Serialize.BrushToString(_uphighlightPlotColor); }
            set { this._uphighlightPlotColor = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
        }

        //**************

        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Down Highlight Color", GroupName = "Settings Color", Order = 1), XmlIgnore]
        public Brush DownHighlightPlotColor
        {
            get { return this._dwnhighlightPlotColor; }
            set { this._dwnhighlightPlotColor = value; }
        }

        [Browsable(false), XmlIgnore]
        public string DownHighlightPlotColorSerialize
        {
            get { return Serialize.BrushToString(_dwnhighlightPlotColor); }
            set { _dwnhighlightPlotColor = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
        }​

Hello jeliner,

May I also confirm you have compiled the script using the NinjaScript Editor so that the overload methods are autogenerated?

May I have an export of the script to test on my end?

To export a NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScript so this can be shared and imported by the recipient do the following:

1. Click Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript Add-on...
2. Click the 'add' link -> check the box(es) for the script(s) and reference(s) you want to include
3. Click the 'Export' button
4. Enter the script name in the value for 'File name:'
5. Choose a save location -> click Save
6. Click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>

Below is a link to the help guide on Exporting NinjaScripts.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/export.htm

Once exported, please attach the file as an attachment to your reply.

I think I see the issue, It appears that the NinjaScript compiler is not creating the correct constructors??
What would keep that from happening?
I write the code in Visual Studio and compile it in the Ninja Editor.

Hello jeliner,

Thank you for providing the export.

Please also add the [NinjaScriptProperty] attribute to all properties you want in the in the overload signature.
