The reason I post this here is that I don’t know if I should write a Strategy or an Indicator.
I am trying to write a simple “detector” that will alert me if any of a selected group of Instruments will meet a preset criteria.
To do this, I need to apply that “detector” to a list of Instruments.
The natural choice is the “Market Analyzer”
The “Detector” will have to look at a 5 minuet bars of this instrument and possibly another set of bars that is not part of this instrument (such as an index or a future.)
From what I could work out, the function Add() in an Indicator is what I should use to load an array of bars while Add() in the indicators has a different function altogether.
The problem is that I don’t know if and how I can load and run a Strategy to work on a list of instruments and on the other hand I know I can run an indicator on such a list within the market analyzer but an indicator cannot look at an external list of bars using the Add() function.
I wonder if I can get help on this.
Thanks
