Indicator in indicator

[nordseven]

Hello.
I have question.
It's possible to set values or use functions of included indicator?
Like this: includedIndicator.value = 3; includedIndicator.someFunction(value);

Hello nordseven,

Thank you for your note.

So I may best answer your question could you please provide additional information on what you are trying to do, perhaps with an example?

For example, are you trying to set the value of the output of an SMA in an Indicator, to something else?

Could you provide an example of a function in an indicator that you'd like to use outside the script?

I look forward to your reply.

				BarsRequiredToPlot					= 1;
				AddPlot(Brushes.Blue, "ThePlot");		
			}

			//Add your custom indicator logic here.
			Value[0] = abc * multiplyAbc;

INDICATOR2

                        {
                             insInd = InsideIndicator(def);
                         }
		}

			//Add your custom indicator logic here.
			insInd.multiplyAbc = 3; //my question here, this is possible?
                       // zzz = insInd.myFunction(35);  // second question  - it's possible to use "InsideIndicator" functions in  other indicator?
                        Value[0] = insInd.ThePlot[0];

How to programmatically change multiplyAbc in "InsideIndicator" and receive updated value to OutsideIndicator.
It's possible to use "InsideIndicator" functions in other indicator?

Hello nordseven,

It would be possible to set the value of a public variable from another indicator.

I've provided a link to an example of how you could use an Addon to set the value of a bool in a strategy which would cause the strategy to return on each BarUpdate.
