Get value from Variable in Indicator . . .

[ATMtrader0001]

So here's where I am at. I created a Indicator that you can set variables for when you setup the Indicator. Settings like Colors, setting for
the fequency for SMA and a few others. So when I try to get that information from the indicator like

localSMAPeriod = MyIndicator.SMAPeriod;

This fails. What I want to do is ultimately set the settings in the Indicator and then refence those in the Strategy so that I can plot those
values on the Chart to help make buying decisions.

The way I want to ultimately use it is:

localSMA = SMA(MyIndicator.SMAPeriod);

When I try to call the value from the Indicator I get an error. So clearly I am calling that value incorrectly.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? The indicator is setting the values correctly as I have seen in the
debug Print statement. This is my last hurdle and I will be happy.

Thanks.

Hello ATMtrader0001,

You are getting an error?

What is the error?


The MyIndicator.SMAPeriod is throwing me off a bit.
Is this in a different namespace or something?
Is MyIndicator a variable holding an indicator and you are trying to get a property from it?

Why is the MyIndicator. added to the front of this?

Take a look at the SMA indicator to see how the public Period input is created and the attributes applied.

Sorry, I was not at my usual computer and could not post the error.

After getting some sleep I found the issue. I am able to get the value from the parameters now.
