Strategy builder: can you use the output from one set as the input for another?
Hello, new to NT and I have a question regarding strategy builder Conditions and Actions. Can you use the output from one set as the input for another? For example, lets say I only want to enter a position if both the MACD and SMA have crossed over. Could I have set one, the MACD crossover, return a boolean (one if true and zero if false) along with set two (the SMA crossover) doing the same thing. Set 3 three would then take the outputs of set one and two and add them, only entering a position if outputset1+outputset2=2. Knowing how to do this would make it far easier to design more complicated systems in strategy builder. Personally, I'm beginning work on a strategy where I would like to enter a long position on 4/5 buy signals and exit it on 3/5 sell signals and this is the logical framework I'm hoping to implement in strategy builder to make that happen. A simple example would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello StoneMan78,
Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!
Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript and C#. Be sure to watch the Strategy Builder 301 training video.
You can set a bool in set one and then check the state of the bool in set two or a later set.
You could also put both conditions in the same condition set within a condition group.
Below is a link to an example that sets double and integer values in one set and checks these in another.
