Access to 3d party indicator

[Dzammer]

Hello.
How can i access to Acme (for example) indicator values in my strategy?
I can access to MAMA by this code:

Indicator.MAMA mama = MAMA(1, 2);

but i can't access to:

Indicator.AcmeVolumeProfileVPOC poc = AcmeVolumeProfileVPOC();

Why?
And if i add this indicator on the chart, Indicators.Count return always 0.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

I would be unsure of the reason based on what is provided, it could be the way the item is coded or the syntax being used to call the indicator.

Is this a free item that can be downloaded for testing? If so I could try it on my end to see if It can be used. If this is a paid item from a vendor, it would likely be easiest to ask the vendor if they have any pre made syntax examples for the item or if it can be used this way.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Sounds like AcmeVolumeProfile has been placed in yet another nested custom namespace also called Indicator.

Here you can download indicator "ClasterVolume". It have no source code and i can't access to it from strategy.

Hello,

Thank you for the file,

I have imported the file but I do not see AcmeVolumeProfile, instead I found sbVolumeCluster, is this a different indicator in question now or was the AcmeVolumeProfile intended to be sent?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Acme is not free. But sbVolumeCluster yes. You can write example, how i can access to sbClusterVolume.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

I will post a short video showing how to access this rather than the actual code as the overload set is extremely long with this item. This would be the process to locate if an indicator can be called by name and used.

Thx!
It work perfectly. But why it not working in Visual Studio 2015? I'll add link to "ClusterVolume.dll" and in VS see only this.

Hello,

Based on the image, I would expect what you see in the Intellesense dropdown in VisualStudio.

By typing "sb", VS is looking for available Methods, Events, Properties etc.. that start with the letters sb.

Instead to see overloads, you need to type the full name of the method and then (

After typing the Open Parenthesis, you should see any available overloads, although Intellesense is not perfect so some items may not show up. This is where you would generally just type the code out as you normally would for a method that is understood on how to use it.

In general it is not recommended to use visual studio unless you are already very experienced with designing applications using Visual Studio as it adds another layer of complexity to development. It can be a useful tool but is not needed at all in most cases, a majority of the same programming can be done using the built in Intelleprompt which is found in the NInjaScript editor.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
