Indicator syntax

[ahrt|]

I need to know the syntax is pass a variable from one chart to another, so I can incorporate it into my indicator.

Thanks

Thank you for your question, .

I am taking this to mean that you have indicators open in multiple charts and would like to pass messages between them. If this is the case, I am including a publicly available link from the MSDN C# documentation which will guide you toward putting together a global scope file in NT8.

If on the other hand you would like to duplicate an indicator in one chart into another chart, you can right-click on the chart tab at the bottom and select "Duplicate in new window" or "Duplicate in new chart"

Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Thanks a lot in getting oriented in this Jessica, I already manage to record global variables in a chart, I am trying to generate the code to be able to read it from another.

I have not been able to access the Hashtable from the chart that receives the information, I use the statement "colAlias :: Hashtable test = new colAlias :: Hashtable ();"

I think when I use the "new" sentence, I create it again and delete the previous content


Thanks for your help, regards, Alejandro
Pd: sorry for my writing in English ...

I have noticed you are using syntax common to other languages such as C++. In C#, the hash table object is known as a Dictionary and is publicly documented here.

I have included an example where two indicators pass messages back and forth. Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Thanks for your reply Jessica, I can not compile the example you sent me, apparently I'm missing Dataannotations, Tasks, Input, Media, Tools, Floatingpoint, which are defined in declarations, I'm using ninja trader
7 .0.1000.34, I have to load something else ?.

Thank you for this information Alejandro. If you are in NinjaTrader 7, you will not be able to use those samples directly, as they are designed for NinjaTrader 8. However the concepts illustrated will transfer over to NinjaTrader 7. I am happy to answer any questions about the contents. Code samples we provide are for educational purposes, and are not intended for live trading, and are not guaranteed to accomplish any user goal or to be maintained. For convenience, these are the key parts to each file.

From A :

        private static Object InUse = new Object();
        public static string Reply(string msg)
        {
            string output = msg;
            lock(InUse)
            {
                output += " jumps over the lazy dog";
            }
            return output;
        }[/FONT]

From B:

[FONT=Courier New]
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            Print(Indicators.Example1705514A.Reply("The quick brown fox"));
        }[/FONT]

Hi Jessica, thank you very much for all your help, I already achieved my goal, I use global variables to pass information between charts.

It also proves the statements that I send to pass information between indicators and I worked well.
