Need info on coding a reference to another indicator
2 , For indicators with multiple outputs, I like to use build an automated strategy using the indicators in question along with the specific plot options.
Then I open the code and help myself to what I want.
Thanks, TAJ... I have some examples and finally got my darvas reference to work... but I feel like I'm incorporating a lot of unnecessary crap from copying others code not totally understanding what they are doing so I would like to really understand the essence of refering to a value in another indicator, like does it matter whether or not that indicator is on the chart...
Here's what I used to get 2 values I wanted from the Darvas indicator:
Thanks, RJay... I understand 1 & 2, but not #3... I understand what a plot series is but why that rather than a standard Data Series? Also, my question is how to get values from an existing indicator... what "calculation" are you refering to? one in the external indicator or one that has nothing to do with it...
Just follow this example for Plots, IntSeries, BoolSeries and Variables. If I recall there are both Strategy Files and Indicator Files within the Zip to demonstrate how they all go together.
Thanks, TAJ... that's exactly what I was looking for... searched and searched for it in futures.io (formerly BMT) and the NT forum this a.m. Wasn't using the right keywords apparently.
