Varying Indicator Parameters

[RJay]

Explain what it is you are trying to do again.

Maybe I'm the one who isn't understanding.

[FatCanary]

I have an indicator, lets call it MyIndi, that needs to access the value of T3. Both T3 and MyIndi are on the same chart.

Currently I have T3 parameters as (34, 3, 0.01). In MyIndi I am accessing T3 with:
if(High[0] > T3(34,3,0.01)[0])
do something...

This works fine but if I changed T3 (on the chart) to, say, (21, 3, 0.5) MyIndi would still be accessing
T3(34,3,0.01)[0].

I would like MyIndi to access whatever parameters T3 is currently set to. So if T3 is changed I would not have to change MyIndi.

I hope this is a bit clearer :-)

Also, thanks for your patience.

FatCanary,

This should be quite simple.

save T3 under a new name. (No editing NT stock indicators)

add the following code line in onBarUpdate.

if(High[0] > T3(period, tCount, vFactor)[0]) // Do Something!!!

Now your parameters in this indicator will control your new T3 version as well as the parameters to the original T3 feeding into your indicator.

Only use the new indicator. T3 does not need to be on the chart.

The only thing left is the "do something ".

P.S. this can also be done without the T3 feed. Simply compare the Value[0] to Open[0] .

[FatCanary]

Aha!! Never thought of doing it like that, it works great.

Many, many thanks.

Can I push my luck with your generosity just a little further? :-)

You mention:

Could you explain 'simply compare the Value[0] to Open[0]' a bit further please.

OK,

Temporarily, comment out the input feed from T3 and add this if statement at this location in the code.


CalculateGD((DataSeries) seriesCollection[seriesCollection.Count - 1], Values[0]);

if(High[0] > Values[0]) // Do Something
}

Hi RJay

Right, got it. Although I had to change Values[0] to Value[0].
Values[0] was giving a compile error saying 'Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands type 'double' and DataSeries'.

Once again many thanks for the help. I won't take up any more of your time!
