Strategy Signal as Indicator

[mmenigma]

Hi, I have a NinjaScript strategy that prints a tag on screen (L1 or S1) as a buy or sell signal. I'd like to be able to use this signal in a different Strategy Builder strategy I'm creating but don't see Drawing Objects as a condition option. Is there another way I can use the L1 or S1 as a Condition from a different strategy in my SB strategy? for reference, I included an image of how the NinjaScript signals are displayed.

Thanks, Mitch

Hello Mitch,

For an indicator to send a signal to a strategy in the Strategy Builder, the value will need to be set to a plot series added with AddPlot() and returned by a public Series<double>.

Below is a link to a support article with direction.

As well as a link to an example.

Thanks for replying. Yes I understand that about indicators and plots. My question is referring to using a tag/signal from another strategy that is printed on the chart. Can the printed tag from another strategy be used as a condition in a strategy builder strategy. Perhaps as a variable or other method?

Hello mmenigma,

Unfortunately, no. Only plots can be used in the Strategy Builder.
The value would have to be set to a plot value.
