accessing indicator values

[james_roe]

I am trying to determine what the value for a given indicator is X bars back.

I realize I can do that with SMA(4)[x] for a simple moving average, or EMA(4)[x] for an exponential, but what if I do not know ahead of time if I am dealing with an EMA or an SMA, RSI, etc...

Basically I want my indicator to function on data displayed on the chart without knowing ahead of time what that data is based on, or what the settings for that indicator are.

So is there a way to get a list of applied indicators for the plot that an indicator is on as well as their inputs?

I've tried a bunch of different search queries without luck.

Hello james_roe,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum!

I do not understand the context of the code that you are trying to pull values from, can you provide a sample of the code and more information on what you are attempting to do here?

I look forward to your response.

My script checks for divergence basically between the price and a secondary dataset like the MACD or the RSI.

I do not necessarily know what this second dataset is ahead of time, it could be stochastic it could be RSI, it could be MACD, or a custom MACD.

So I would like to know how to determine what indicator is applied to a plot, and what the settings are for that indicator, so that I can determine what that indicators value is on a specific bar.

Almost same thread title: definitely same answer, at least by me.
