Access Incidator Series Data from Strategy

[calebsandfort]

I have a custom indicator that along with some plots also

Series<double>

properties for data that I want to track, but not plot.

Whenever I access

customIndicator.SeriesX[0]

from the strategy the value is always zero.

Is this something that is not supported. Can only plotted values be referenced?

Any help or tips what be greatly appreciated.

Hello calebsandfort,

Thank you for the post.

Please see this reference sample that demonstrates how to expose indicator values that are not plots:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?exposing_indicator_values_that.htm

The important parts are the public properties of the series in the #region Properties section of the SampleBoolSeries.cs indicator file.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Hi Chris

Thanks for sending this along. This is basically what I was doing, but instead of doing

SampleBoolSeries().BullIndication[0]

, I was doing

boolIndicator.BullIndication[0]

where boolIndicator is a variable I initialized at the start of the strategy.

So, is it necessary to create a new instance of the indicator each time in OnBarUpdate?

Hello calebsandfort,

Thank you for the reply.

You can set up the indicator at the class level to make one instance of it. I have attached the modified example.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
