Not sure if this post exists, so sorry if it already has been asked.
I'm wanting to know how to develop a strategy, using the strategy builder, to make an order based on a buy and sell indicator output.
For example, I have this custom indicator that prints arrows to enter long or short based on breakouts or breakdowns. I've used the alert method within the indicator to fire a market order when the indicator displays on chart after bar close. The results are not great as the indicator is active all the time (I only want set hours) and also I would like to use limit orders with a tick offset and disappear after 3 or 4 bars have printed on any time frame.
Is there a way to extract the indicator output and use this in the strategy builder to go long with limit order when the indicator prints buy or go short with limit order when the indicator prints sell.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Marco
