Indicator with multiple input DataSeries

[Renejm]

Hello,
I want to build an indicator with using 2 or 3 input DataSeries. Do you have an example of an indicator using more than 1 input dataseries. For example the EMA indicator uses 1 input DataSeries. I want to call this indicator in my stratgey. This indicator uses than for example the High[0] and Low[0] as input dataserie.

Kind regards,
Rene

Hello Rene,

Thank you for your post.

You can see an example of using multiple instruments/time frames in your strategy by going to the NinjaTrader Control Center > Tools > Edit NinjaScript > Strategy > SampleMultiInstrument > OK.

For information on working with multiple instruments and time frames in your code please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nstruments.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks for the reply. I am all familiair with the working of multiple instrument in a strategy. I am using it already and it works. My question is as follows: in a strategy you can use the indicator EMA(Close[0], 20) for using a 20 period MA. This indiactor does use 1 input dataserie: Close[0]. I want to build an indicator and use it in a strategy with 2 input dataseries: High[0] and Low[0]. Is it possible to use two input dataseries for calling an indicator and do you have an example of an indicator using two input dataseries. I need to know to ma ethe indicator familiar that 2 input dataseries are used. If I look at the code of the EMA indicator only 1 input dataserie can be used.

Kind regards,
Rene

Hello Rene,

Thank you for that information.

In this case you would use BarsArray to call the second data series into an indicator.

For information on BarsArray please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../barsarray.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.

You can use any number of any objects as inputs. Just make them inputs, by properly defining their properties, and use them.

in the region properties

[NinjaScriptProperty] // this treats the variable as an input argument to your indicator method
[Browsable(false)] // this hides the variable from the indicator setup/config dialog box property grid (typically where you define a lookback value etc)
