Importing 3rd party indicators in strategy code

[krizquino]

Hello,

I have a ninjatrader indicator, acquired recently... now I want to code an strategy so I need to first instantiate the indicator on my code to be able to EnterLong or Short based on indicator values.

I have tried to... declare at class level the indicator I already have imported...

private indicatorName indicatorHandler;

To then, instantiate within State.DataLoaded

indicatorHandler = indicatorName(param1, param2, param3, param4);

and finally I need to obtain the internal values of the indicator, how can I get access to the internal buffers? for example this indicator has two EMA's one slow and one fast?

Hello krizquino,

Thank you for your post.

The correct syntax to get this information from the indicator would depend on how the script is written, or if this information can be accessed at all. You'll need to reach out to the developer of the script for clarity on how to access these values from the indicator, especially if the code isn't open source.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
