Making an indicator signal a public bool

[mohdhm]

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to make a bull/bear signal a public bool to call on my strategy. So far i know how to edit my strategy to call on the bool. But I don't know how to edit the indicator to make the bool public, would be grateful for any guidance.

Thank you,

Hello Alan, Thanks for the link to your script.

I'm not a good programmer at all so a lot of what the code did went over my head.

Just wanted to ask if this is the part in the indicator that makes the bool public and referable by the strategy:

 #region Properties
		// Creating public properties that access our internal Series<bool> allows external access to this indicator's Series<bool>
		[Browsable(false)]
		[XmlIgnore]
        public Series <bool> GapUp
        {
            get { return gapUp; }	// Allows our public GapUp Series<bool> to access and expose our interal gapUp Series<bool>
        }
		
		[Browsable(false)]
		[XmlIgnore]		
        public Series < bool> GapDown
        {
            get { return gapDown; }	// Allows our public GapDown Series<bool> to access and expose our interal gapDown Series<bool>
        }
		
	///Setting PlotgapUpPositve1GapDownNeg1Plot series to the 2nd plot, which allows us to reference it in our strategy.
		[ XmlIgnore()]
		public Series <double> PlotgapUpPositve1GapDownNeg1Plot
		{
		get { return Values[1]; }
		}
	
	///We set this series equal to plot 1 in OnBarUpdate, but are exposing the series so we can use in strategies.
		[Browsable(false)]
		[XmlIgnore]		
        public Series < int> GapUpPositve1GapDownNeg1Plot  //Alows us to get the plot series of 1, 0, - depending on gap up, no gap, or gap down.
        {
            get {return gapUpPositve1GapDownNeg1Plot; }	
		
        }

Hello mohdhm,

Thank you for your response.

That is correct. You can see the comment at the beginning of the Properties region that explains this.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
