Custom field in condition builder

[Huskz]

Hello,

I am writing custom indicator. And my client asked if could he have a custom action in condition builder in wizard for making new strategy.

Is this possible?
Lets say that I need another version on "Bars ago" in my parameters list called "Bars ago2" that will return data based on some custom calculations.

Hello Huskz,

Thanks for the post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums! Unfortunately it is not possible to customize the actions available under the condition builder interface.

So solution is to make custom strategy?

A custom strategy is good if you want it to place orders. Any other action can use custom programming in an indicator. What type of custom action are you trying to create?

Well I did indicator similar to Swing Indicator. I also display High and Low swings.
Customers idea is to get High or Low swing by their order of happening. Let say that in some period of time happened 4 high swings. Customer wants to get second high swing and use it in condition builder when planning a strategy.

OK, I see what you're looking for. The condition builder is a nice introduction to creating strategies, and is a front end to NinjaScript so that all the conditions you create in it can be viewed as code. Once you outgrow its capabilities, can click unlock code, and then would have the freedom to code any conditions you like.

You can work in code in either an indicator or a strategy. A strategy is used for order placement, and indicator code can be anything else.

If the swing data that you are talking about is publicly exposed, then you should be able to access it in the Strategy Builder.
