Indicator as a prameter for another indicator

[pjsmith]

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to specify an indicator in the parameters list of another indicator?

I case this isn't clear on what I want to do, here is a scenario. I have an indicator/strategy and I want to give go/no go priority to another indicator. I might like to try this a lot, so parameters rather than hard coding might be desirable.

So, strategy/indicator would be saying buy/sell, but go/no go relies in the value of a user specified indicator (and probably associated values in another parameter) that will have the final say.

I hope this makes sense.

If this is possible and you are aware of any code samples, I'd appreciate a pointer.

Thanks.

Hell pjsmith,

Thanks for opening the thread.

It is possible to create an enum as an input parameter so you can select specify an indicator to use from your enum. The logic would have to branch out for each enum selected/indicator to use.

We have a publicly available sample that demonstrates this within our Reference Samples section of the forums. I will provide a link below.

Creating a user-defined parameter type (enum) - https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ead.php?t=3420

If you have any questions on the sample, please let me know.
