Adding Input From Custom Indicator Into Strategy

  Hi Guys,

  Apologies if this is a stupid question but i am new and have hit a wall with how to proceed.

  I have created and indicator that shows an arrow when certain conditions are met. how do i add this parameter to a custom strategy so that when it is triggered I can use the parameter as part of the conditions. Do i need to add the indicator code to the strategy as a separate part of the code (almost like a function) or can i call the parameter from the custom indicator, if so how do i do this given it may return 2 different conditions?

   

  Thanks in advance & sorry i have searched this but the solution is not easily found or i am not understanding.

  You can use the code as a function and change it a littel to fitt, or use the Call function to load any coustome indicator you make.

  It it makes 2 differnet arrows i gess you have 2 different outputs?

  So can make:

  If green then

  C1 = 1

  Elsif

  Red then

  C2 =1

  Endif

  You can embed it into your strategy, or you can use CALL which is similar to functions (functions will be supported in a future version):

  myValue = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1] myValue = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2] myValue1, myValue2, myValue3 = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2] myValue1, ignored, myValue3 = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2]

  1 2 3 4

  myValue = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1] myValue = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2] myValue1, myValue2, myValue3 = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2] myValue1, ignored, myValue3 = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2]

  use IGNORED when you don’t need one of the returned values.

  If you export your code, also the CALLed indicators will be exported. The same when you import your code.
