Detecting if ZigZag indicator is inside of Ichimoku red cloud or above blue cloud

[TheNomadicAspie]

I'm trying to develop an entry signal for an automated trading strategy, and would like to make one of the conditions that the ZigZag indicator on my chart is currently either inside the red cloud of my Ichimoku cloud, or above the blue cloud. I imagine I can do this by taking the current plot of the two lines of my Ichimoku cloud and seeing which one is higher, then making a conditional statement from there. I'm unsure how to reference the attributes of indicators through NinjaScript however. Is there any documentation that would help me figure this out, or perhaps some sample code?

I figured out how to add the DLL file to the references window in NinjaScript editor, but am unsure how to figure out what variables to call or how to call them within the code itself.

Hello TheNomadicAspie,

The ZigZag indicator is included with NinjaTrader.

As an example of calling this:
Print("The high of the zigzag bar is " + High[Math.Max(0, ZigZag(DeviationType.Points, 0.5, false).HighBar(0, 1, 100))]);

Below is a link to the help guide.

The Ichimoku is not included with NinjaTrader but there is an open source Ichimoku indicator available in the User App Share of the NinjaTrader Ecosystem.

An example of calling this:
Print(IchimokuCloud(true, false, 9, 26, 52, 40, Brushes.Green, Brushes.Red, 26).ChikouSpan[0]);
