Accessing Indicator Data from DrawingTool?

[MarkWise]

I'm building a custom DrawingTool and need to access some indicator data from within.

For example, when siting the control initially, I'd like to access the current ATR of the chart on which the tool is being rendered.

However, calling an indicator directly doesn't work.

For example:

public override void OnMouseDown(ChartControl chartControl, ChartPanel chartPanel, ChartScale chartScale, ChartAnchor dataPoint)
{
     .... various code ....

    // THIS DOES NOT WORK
    double dblATR = ATR(14)[0];


     .... more various code ....
}

Is there a way I can access indicator (or bar OCHLV) data from within a DrawingTool?

Hello MarkWise,

I'm not aware of any way to call an indicator from a drawing tool.

I have submitted a feature request on your behalf for the NinjaTrader Development to consider adding this functionality to a future version of NinjaTrader.

Once I have a tracking ID for this request, I will post this in this thread for future reference.

In the meantime, you would need to add the calculations done in the indicator directly to the drawing tool.

Hi MarkWise,

I've received a tracking ID for your feature request. For future request, your request to allow indicators to be called from a Drawing object script is being tracked with ID #SFT-1883.

Please note, it is up to the NinjaTrader Development to decide if and when a request will be implemented.

We appreciate the suggestion. Please let me know of any other requests or suggestions you may have for the NinjaTrader platform.

Awesome.

Thanks!

In the meantime, I'm calculating my ATR data manually.
