Setu up on indicators

[ocorrea]

I have created a file with all my set ups of entry and exit of trades to use in one of my strategies.

Now, I want to use these same set ups in a Indicator. Is it possible?

How can I do it ??

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

ocorrea, the main logic would be the same - the indicator would just not enter trades and manage position, so you would need to come up with a different way to visualize the infos / signals then. So what you created now would be an indicator you call in your strategy or is the actual logic all in a strategy file?

I would like to to graph the strategy.

In my "UserDefinedMehods" in a file separate, I put my set ups to entry and exit with I use in my strategy.

for exemple:

{
partial class Strategy
{
public int ECPR23(int C, int M, double LI, double LS, int PROF, int ft)
{ int Key0 = 0;
if ( Open[0] > SMA(M)[0]
&& Close[0] > Close[5]
&& myLinRegSlope(LI,LS,PROF,M)[0] > LS)
{ Key0 = 1}
return (Key0);
}
.
.
.
public int SCPR23(int C, int M, double LI, double LS, int PROF)
{ int Key0 = 0;
if( Open[1] < SMA(C)[1]
&& Close[1] < SMA(C)[1]
&& Close[1] < Close[2]
&& SMA(C)[1] < SMA(C)[2]
&& SMA(C)[2] < SMA(C)[3]
&& myLinRegSlope(LI,LS,PROF,C)[1] < myLinRegSlope(LI,LS,PROF,C)[2]
&& myLinRegSlope(LI,LS,PROF,C)[2] < myLinRegSlope(LI,LS,PROF,C)[3]
)
{ Key0 = 1;}

return (Key0);
}
.
.
.
public int RCPR23(int C, double LI, double LS, int PROF)
{ int Key0 = 0;
if ( ADX(C)[1] >= 40
&& Close[1] < SMA(C)[1]
&& Close[2] < SMA(C)[2]
&& Close[3] < SMA(C)[3]
&& SMA(C)[1] < SMA(C)[2]
&& SMA(C)[3] < SMA(C)[4]
&& SMA(C)[4] < SMA(C)[5] )
{ Key0 = 1; }
return (Key0);
}

In my indicator I would like to graph the points of entry and exit of the strategy, as follow:

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkGreen), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "ECP"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkGreen), PlotStyle.TriangleDown, "EVD"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Maroon), PlotStyle.TriangleDown, "SCP"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Firebrick), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "SVD"));
Overlay = true;
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (ECPR23>0){ECP.Set(Open[0] - 2);return;}
if (EVDR23>0){EVD.Set(Open[0] - 2);return;}
if (SCPR23>0){SCP.Set(Open[0] - 2);return;}
if (SVDR23>0){SVD.Set(Open[0] - 2);return;}
}

when compiling the indicator are presented these errors:

ocorrea, thanks. There's two user defined method files, one for indicators, one for strategies. It can't find the method you define in the partial strategy base here. So please replicate the custom methods as well in the user defined methods cs for the indicator base class and you should be able to use and compile as expected.

[ocorrea]

Then I need have two files with set ups? One for strategies and other for Indicators? So I can not use the same for both?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

It should be fine to have them all residing in the indicator file, as the strategies should be able to get those as well.

It should be fine to have them all residing in the indicator file, as the strategies should be able to get those as well.

Not unless the objects/methods are marked as static.

Thanks koganam, you are correct. Looking more into, for the partial classes they would need to be in the same namespace.
