Accessing other indicator boolean values

[tacticaltrader]

Hi,

I'm trying to access a boolean series from another indicator...
I've set up the Boolean series for values to be accessed.
As per SampleBoolSeries Indicator.

When I type in this line of code Add(SMAgroup2()); in my indicator that will be
accessing the boolean series I get a No overload for method...takes '0' arguments.

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Lime, 2), PlotStyle.Bar, "UpVolume"));
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Red, 2), PlotStyle.Bar, "DownVolume"));
Add(new Line(Color.DarkGray, 0, "Zero line"));

DrawOnPricePanel=false;


Add(SMAgroup2()); // This is the line


}

Obviuosly the indicator I'm accessing is named SMAgroup2:Indicator.

I thought if it took o arguments then typing in () would be ok?

I'm using NT7..



Thanks
Bruce

If you coded SMAgroup2 by starting with the wizard, the wizard created at least one class variable, usually called MyInput0.

If you are not using the variable, you can edit the SMAgroup2.cs file to remove it. Otherwise, to reference the indicator, you must give it the required int input. Try SMAgroup2(0).

Your other option is to create a new named instance of the indicator, then reference that instance. Actually, if you are using COBC = false, that may be the most efficient method to use the indicator, as it bypasses NT's iteration through the app domain to find the correct running instance, which of course happens every time the indicator is called. Think what happens when the indicator is called 1 million times on one bar because COBC is false.

Hi,

The indicator is the VolumeUpDown indicator supplied by NT...I've basically copied and pasted
into a new indicator called VolumeAnalyzer and added some extra code. I need to access
another indicator called SMAgroup2 so I created a Boolean Series within that.And now I want
to reference that series from within VolumeAnalyzer.cs
SMAgroup2(0) doesn't work. There is limited information on this topic.
Is the problem with the VolumeAnalyzer or SMAgroup2 indicator..what do you think?

A couple of error messages I get when I add this line ADD(SMAgroup2()) are...

1. No overloaded method SMAgroup2 takes 1 arguments
2. Argument 1 cannot convert from NT.Indicator.SMAgroup2 to NT.GUI Chart.Line

Thanks
