Strategy Indicators

[dibDab]

Is it possible to load a strategy that also creates an indicator panel containing 3 user-defined series?

apolgies just found this

https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...or-in-strategy

and imported HeikenAshiIndicatorStrategyExample.zip but what I'm trying to do is to get the strategy to create an indicator panel. Something simple like SMA whose data I can modify.

Hello dibDab,

Yes, you can add an indictor to a chart with AddChartIndicator() and set the panel it will appear in.
Below is a link to an example.

However, a series is a collection that has one slot for every bar on the chart.
A user is not able to define a series when they run the script.

Are you certain you are looking for a user-defined series object and not another type of input control like a double, and enum, or a bool?
Are you trying to allow the user to select the calculations for the plot (such as selecting a source indicator)?

looking at

StrategyPlotPanelSelectIndicator from StrategyPlotPanelSelectExample_NT8.zip

Is there any documentation on StrategyPlotPanelSelectIndicator?

Hello dibDab,

There is not documentation on this, or any other, example script on the forum. These are just made as quick examples to demonstrate a tool or concept in response to someone's inquiry.

There is documentation on the ChartIndicators collection.

Indicators and plots, and the Values collection of plot series.

ok thanks, was on the wrong track but not any more,

one last question: if myIndicator has 2 plots

AddPlot(Brushes.Blue, "Plot0");
AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "Plot1");

and I want to set these values in my strategy do I need to have get & set in my myIndicator properties? if so how do I do that?

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public Series<double> Plot0
{
get { return Values[0]; }
set ?
}​​
​
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public Series<double> Plot1
{
get { return Values[1]; }
set ?
}

in myStrategy:

myIndicator.Value[0][0] = Low[0] - 5 * TickSize;
myIndicator.Value[1][0] = Low[0] - 5 * TickSize;

Hello dibDab,

You will need the getter to return the plot series. No setter is necessary.
