Using 3rd party Plots for Strategy Builder

[jamesonjameson]

Hello, I did a lot of research but didn't find a good answer.

I have a third party indicator that I would like to use in the strategy builder. The code is not accessible, but the data window shows a plot value for the indicator, so I should be able to use it for the strategy builder as well, right?

I've already added the indicator to the strategy and added a function "enter long-position, if plot value xy is bigger than mysc numeric value " but compiling doesn't work. What can I do?

Hello jamesonjameson,

The plots Values series also require a public Series<double> object to make the plots appears in the Strategy Builder.

Below is a link to a forum post that discusses.

A compile error would not be related to that.

See the post below about opening the NinjaScript Editor and compiling to find compile errors.

Hi, thank you for the answer. I tried , but don´t get it. In another Post I saw the Sample Customer Render. That works, everytime I want to go long, there is a 1, when I want to go short, there is a -1. On the historical chart. Also compiling the strategy script works fine. But when I try it live with demo, there is a "n.a." shown on the live candle (histoeical candles are okay, just live), and opens positions like every 2 or 3 seconds. What can I do? Can you explain for my 8 years old? : D : D

Hello jamesonjameson,

I'm not clear on the specific issue.

Is the issue that there is no value set on the currently building last bar?

Is the script running with Calculate.OnPriceChange or .OnEachTick so this updates before the bar closes?

Do you have a condition that compares the indicator plot to Misc -> Numeric value set to 1 or -1?
