Exposing indicator values in Market Analyzer

[dynoweb]

I have a simple indicator that uses two SMA's and plots those. I've also added two IntSeries variables to hold the count since the last crossover and the direction of the crossover (1, -1).

I want to be able to display the count and direction in the Market Analyzer. If I store those values in a plot I can access them in the MA, but in some cases, like when the stock price is small, the plats show on the chart and is not clean. Setting them to transparent removes the values too.

What do I need to do to expose these Series in Market Analyzer?

Thanks for the post dynoweb, you don't have to use a plot then, but just can expose the custom int series directly for access - here's a sample on this technique http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4991

Expose the data as a DataSeries instead of as an IntSeries.

The SampleBoolSeries is what I based my indicator on. Instead of using the BoolSeries I used IntSeries. Loading the SampleBoolSeries indicator in MA only shows one object exposed which is the SampleBoolSeries. This is the same as my indicator only showing the DataSeries plots.

Expose the data as a DataSeries instead of as an IntSeries.

Thanks, I changed it to DataSeries and it worked. Now do you know how to force it show those values as an integer? for example 3 instead of 3.00

You are correct, should have clarified further that this is just a generalized example of how to expose something internal like a variable or non plotted series.
