How to auto restart running indicator?

Erez · (login for full post details)

I'm looking for a way in code, to cause an indicator to restart (similar to pressing F5) when specific condition occurs, any ideas?

SendKeys.Send("{F5}");

Bring focus to window, then use SendKeys.

Thanks, this is good option, but I want to reload only specified indicator and not all the indicator in chart, any additional ideas?

There might be a way to call Initialize()...

To anyone:

Just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit operating system. Loaded the newest version of NT7 and here's my problem. When I press F5 to compile an indicator nothing happens, it doesn't compile the way my Windows XP 32 bit operating system did. It doesn't compile at all. Do I need to do something different with Windows 7??? Suggestions please.

Thank you,

Rick

@ Big Mike.....Hope this is the right thread for this post.

This is not the right thread for your post, I'll try to help.

Open any indicator and right click on your mouse and select compile, also look if you have F5 text in right side of compile text, if not go to NT7 menu Tools > Hot Key Manager > Ninja Script Editor. And select F5 for compile.

Try this. Not guaranteed!

Call a procedure that gets rid of all the existing DataSeries and Plot objects by using the Dispose() method, then calls the Initialize() and OnStartUp() (if used) procedures.

Code

private void ResetIndicator()
{
     if(DataSeries1   != null) DataSeries1.Dispose();  // Dispose of all DataSeries objects other than Plots
     if(Values[0]     != null) Values[0].Dispose();       //  Dispose of all Plots

     Initialize();
     OnStartUp()   // only if indicator has an OnStartUp procedure
}

Thanks @Zondor, assuming this method works, do you know if the indicator will run again through (what I actually need) all the history bars like in "reload ninja script? Or it goes directly to the current bar?

My guess is that if the method I suggested does work, the historical bars will reload. Need to try it and see what happens.
