access Strategy object from indicator

[pbcah]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to trigger various trade activities from within an Indicator such as manage the SL price from a new kind of indicator. Is it possible to get access to the instance of the strategy that an indicator is created in?

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul, unfortunately accessing the strategy object is not supported, as they would not offer cross communication.

Is there any way to reference the parent container that holds the indicator?

Paul, you can pass data from the parent strategy to the indicator invoked by the strategy. Here is a little example, not exactely what you are asking for, but somehow not far away:

Hi Ralph,
I appreciate your feedback. Yes I'm aware of how to pass arguments to an Indicator. I want to manage the strategy from an indicator so if I can access the strategy object from the indicator it would make this possible.

I'm already doing this from a couple of my Indicators by introducing an Abstract derived class from Strategy then extending public methods. I'd like to be able to control other people's strategies (such as the ChartTrader) from an indicator.

Anyhow, many thanks.

Paul
