Referncing indicator with multiple plots in strategy

[leduc]

Slowly progressing from indicators to strategy.

I have now build an indicator that has multiple plots and I want to reference those individual plot values in a strategy.


double dblAtrCross = AtrCross(atrLength)[0]; // Get Indicator values 1 plot

The above statement works ok but has 1 plot only

double xyz = AtrCrossSignals(AtrCrossSignals.Plot0)[0];

This one does not and I tried several combinations. Can some one help here?

Thanks,
leduc

Hello Leduc,

Thank you for your post.

You should declare xyz in the variables region.
private double xyz;

If you want to assign Plot0 of indicator AtrCrossSignals to xyz, you would use the following:
xyz = AtrCrossSignals(yourParametersHere).Plot0[0];

xyz = AtrCrossSignals(Close).Plot0[0];

mmm, Still one question then.

I am using an indicator plot to draw arrows in a strategy. It seems how ever that only the last signals are plotted....

The indicator plot +200 for a buy and -200 for a sell. This works fine for the last buy and last sell signal but history is not plotted on the chart...

This I find strange since the coloring of bars works fine which is also triggered by a indicator vaue...

Any help is appreciated again.

Attached is a screen print on how it ooks. Notice the small purple dots in the indicator below. On the far left there is a purple dot which is not marked with an up arrow on the chart...

Coding below

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
double dblAtrRev = AtrCrossSignals(Close).Plot2[0];
if (dblAtrRev == 200)
{
DrawArrowUp("Up",false,0,Low[0]- 10* TickSize,Color.Green); }
if (dblAtrRev == -200)
{
DrawArrowDown("Down",false,0,High[0]+ 10* TickSize,Color.Red); }
}
}

Hello Ludec,

To resolve this you need a unique name for each object. Note your snippet below with + CurrentBar added to the name.

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
double dblAtrRev = AtrCrossSignals(Close).Plot2[0];
if (dblAtrRev == 200)
{
DrawArrowUp("Up" + CurrentBar,false,0,Low[0]- 10* TickSize,Color.Green); }
if (dblAtrRev == -200)
{
DrawArrowDown("Down" + CurrentBar,false,0,High[0]+ 10* TickSize,Color.Red); }
}
}
