I have been searching for the past week for information on how to bring values from an indicator into a strategy. I am a systems trader and automate as much as I can, so indicators are just window dressing to me (and validation of my strategies, of course). I use TradeStation 10.
Example:
My study has two values that it plots:
ABC_up
XYZ_down
Let's say ABC_up = 345.33. I would like to get that value in my strategy for the current bar (or whatever bar). I cannot find anything in the EasyLanguage documentation, study guides, or forums that indicates (no pun intended) how to do this. Here is what the online help says:
"You can include an indicator within another study such as a strategy or you can apply an indicator directly to a chart or grid. "
From there it is a dead-end. I would rather not rewrite entire indicators in a strategy, if I can help it. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
