Strategy using a 3rd party indicator that needs tick replay to paint signals

[pechtri]

Hi,

I am added the indicator through strategy builder then i unlocked the code to edit it, this indicator needs tick replay to work properly, so when i added it to the strategy it didn't paint any plot,
and in the output windows it prints : OMD data duplicate: 7334 21/06/2023 12:44:24 110 7

the indicator normally prints buy and sell signals,

thank you in advance

Hello pechtri,

Did you select PlotOnChart when you created the condition using the indicator? To visualize the indicator you need to click PlotOnChart which will make the script use AddChartIndicator.

If you did that and still don't see the plot that may be due to how the indicator is being called. For you to use a tick replay indicator you would only need to enable tick replay and ensure that is active when you create the chart by checking the box in the data series menu. As long as that is enabled the indicator should be able to use tick replay.

You may need to reach out to the developer of that item to check if that item is intended to be used by strategies, its possible that it was developed in a way that it won't be able to be used by a strategy.

Hello,

Yes i did select PlotOnChart, and it plots nothing, I tried with other indicators and everything was fine, i think its because i don't have access to code..
is there a way to detect when this indicator plots a buy or a sell signal on chart so i can execute orders ?

Hello pechtri,

The indicator would need to expose data in plots to be able to detect values. As this is a third party item you should contact the developer of this item for further assistance, they will know if it can or cannot be used as a signal in a strategy.
