Using/Leveraging Indicator Properties in a Strategy

[StealthM93]

Hello,

I don't think this is possible, but I'll ask anyway.

I have a custom indicator that is under development. It has 12 properties that determine behavior and appearance. At the same time, I'm developing a strategy around that indicator. When I make a change in the Indicator properties, I then, most times, need to make the same change in the Strategy properties.

Is there way to leverage or display the Indicator properties in the Strategy and have them automatically passed to the indicator being using in the Strategy?

Thanks!
Matt

Hello Matt,

Thanks for your post.

To clarify, you are wanting to access non-plotted values from the indicator when using it in a strategy. Is that correct?

Please see this reference sample demonstrating how to expose indicator values that are not plots so you could access non-plotted values when using this indicator inside of another indicator or strategy.

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hello NinjaTrader_BrandonH

Thank you, that is not what I'm referring to. I'm referring to copying or bringing forward the configuration properties of an indicator into a strategy without having to code those properties in the strategy.

For example, in the Woodies CCI, there are about 10 parameters and another 10+ plot settings.


If I'm using that indicator in a strategy, it is quite tedious and error prone to code those properties in the strategy and the pass them in as parameters. Is there a way to display and then use those indicator properties in a strategy without duplicating them?

Hopefully, that clears up my question.

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

Thanks for the clarification.

This could likely be accomplished using unsupported code to create a property changed event.

Please review the forum thread below for information about how you might go about creating a property changed event.

Thank you, NinjaTrader_BrandonH,

While that is an interesting post, that is not what I'm looking for. Like I said, I don't think it is possible without some pre-compiler directives/processing. Ah, well... No biggie.

Let me try again... I would like the Indicator parameters to automatically show in the Strategy parameters. Like so:



Is it possible to do that?

Thanks,
Matt
