Getting data from Custom Indicator in My Strategy

[darthTraderrr]

Hello Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue with the BetterSwing indicator when used in a strategy. The indicator itself displays correctly on the chart, and all swing calculations appear to be accurate. However, when I call the getter methods (such as GetLastSwing() and GetAllSwings()) from within my strategy, they do not return any instances of mySwing – they consistently return null.

Key Points:

1. The BetterSwing indicator works perfectly on the chart.
2. The getter methods in the strategy fail to return any mySwing instances.

I suspect this might be due to timing issues related to when a swing instance is considered complete or possibly due to an initialization order. Additionally, perhaps I simply do not fully understand the call architecture, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could explain the underlying cause of this problem.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
DarthTraderrrrr

Hello darthTraderrr,

Thank you for your post.

You may need to call Update() in the property getter to return the up-to-date value.
