Access Strategy DataSeries Instruments in Indicator

[jeronymite]

I have a strategy that Adds a number of DataSeries in Initialize(). I want to be able to access the Instrument of each DataSeries of that strategy in an indicator. In other words, BarsArray[n].Instrument where BarsArray[n] is one of the added DataSeries.

No doubt it is unsupported, but would anyone be willing to offer a solution, please?

Thanks!

Hello jeronymite,

Thank you for your post.

I created an example that shows how to pass information to an indicator from a strategy.
You can find this at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...d=5&linkid=666

Also refer to the Strategy Plot sample as well: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=6651

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Access Strategy DataSeries Instruments in Indicator

Thanks, Patrick.

Unfortunately, the code does not address my need. I need to explicitly reference the BarsArray[n].Instrument of any of the DataSeries Added in the strategy . I have been passing values between strategies and indicators using namespace qualification for a long time, but when I try to do this in this case, I get a compiler error "An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'NinjaTrader.Strategy.StrategyBase.BarsArray.get' ".

A working example of referencing the strategy BarsArray in the indicator would be most helpful. Thanks.

EDIT (update): I found a workaround (unsupported). I pass the BarsArray instrument name from the strategy to the indicator and in the indicator I invoke NinjaTrader.Data.ExternalAdapter.GetInstrument(<In strumentName>) .

Hello jeronymite,

Thank you for your response.

You would have to pass the values you need of the Bar Series (High, Low, etc.). Can you give me an example of the script you are using?
