Using Output of Indicator A as input to Indicator B

I am unable to figure out what I have done incorrectly with Indicator A.
I get the error CS0117 "Resource does not contain a definition for NinjaScriptIndicatorNameMidPoint15".
I thought my two AddPlot instructions would define MidPoint15, but I am obviously incorrect.
I used the MACD indicator as a template to define my output of Indicator A.
I have attached a text file showing my code.
If you can point me into the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello goodknight777,

Thank you for your post.

The syntax for AddPlot is below:

AddPlot(Brush brush, string name)

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/addplot.htm

You are trying to use Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorNameMidPoint15 and Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorMidPoint15Shar ed for the names as if these are system NinjaTrader indicators, however since they are not you can't call them this way.

Instead, you could do something like,

AddPlot(Brushes.DarkCyan,"MidPoint15" );
AddPlot(Brushes.Crimson, "MidPoint15Shared");

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you that was exactly what I needed.
Can you tell me if Indicator A and indicator B can be on separate charts or is required that they both reside on the same chart?

Hello,

In what sense? If you are accessing Indicator A from Indicator B, Indicator A's values are being accessed directly from the script.

When using AddPlot(), the indicator will either plot on the price panel of the chart or in it's own separate panel.
