Calling One custom Indicator from a Strategy rather than copying code

[maneesh]

Simple Question :

How do I Call One custom Indicator from a Strategy rather than copying code.

Hello maneesh,

To call an indicator type the indicator name followed by parenthesis with any parameters needed for the indicator followed by a bar index.

For example to call the SMA for the most recent bar:

double mySMAValue = SMA(14)[0];

Below is a public link to the help guide on the SMA.

Take a look at the SampleMACrossover strategy for an example of this.

Thank you for replying ,

Ive seen that , Thanks , but I was asking about custom Indicators , How do I call a Custom Indicator my strategy ?

Hello maneesh,

All indicators, including custom indicators, are called the same way.

I have only used the SMA an example.

I could also have used:

double myValue = MyCustomIndicatorName()[0];

That allows access to the DataSeries produced by the indicator. What if your custom indicator has several objects, each of which produce discrete values ?

Hello spottysallrite,

Similar to how the MACD is called, you would need to specify the public series or property.

For example to get the Diff plot from the MACD:

double myDiffValue = MACD(12,26,9).Diff[0];

Thanks, but that still is using the indicator's dataseries ("Diff.set").

Thanks, but that still is using the indicator's dataseries ("Diff.set").

Same thing. Expose the object as public and access it however you want.
