NT8: Calling on an indicator value (external symbol)

June 22nd, 2017, 07:07 PM

Hi,

How do I call an idicator value from another symbol?
Lets' say I am building an indicator and applying it to chart of Wheat.
Lets say that the indicator is X+Y... and Y is the moving average of CL (crude oil).

I have already added the data series:

Code

else if (State == State.Configure)
			{
				AddDataSeries("CL 08-17", Data.BarsPeriodType.Day, 1, Data.MarketDataType.Last);
			}

But in the OnBarUpdate section, how to call a CL indicator value ?

Thanks
AK

Always by referencing the bars series by index.
Start with the online help guides, expect it to be frustrating until it becomes automatic, after which it's only difficult.

Use Google, Help->F1 doesn't always work.
