  Hi, anyone resolved something similar?

  I am trying to use a home made indicator in my strategy and it won’t find it…

   

  How I call my indicator from  within the strategy

  lsl, ssl = CALL "myATRstop[ATRlevel]"

  1	lsl, ssl = CALL "myATRstop[ATRlevel]"

  see attachemnts, first is the actual indicator, it has one input and two outputs

  second is the error message i get.

   

  probably something really dim ive done..anyone got any ideas? Thanks

  myATRstop indicator:

  atr=AverageTrueRange[14](close)*multiplier longstoplevel=lowest[14](low-atr) shortstoplevel=highest[14](low+atr) //longstoptrigger=low<longstoplevel[1] //shortstoptrigger=high>shortstoplevel[1] //DRAWARROWUP (0, longstoplevel) COLOURED (255, 0, 0) return longstoplevel[1] as "Long level", shortstoplevel[1] as "Short level" //, shortstoptrigger*shortstoplevel as "Short trigger", longstoptrigger*longstoplevel as "Long trigger"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  atr=AverageTrueRange[14](close)*multiplier longstoplevel=lowest[14](low-atr) shortstoplevel=highest[14](low+atr) //longstoptrigger=low<longstoplevel[1] //shortstoptrigger=high>shortstoplevel[1] //DRAWARROWUP (0, longstoplevel) COLOURED (255, 0, 0)   return longstoplevel[1] as "Long level", shortstoplevel[1] as "Short level"   //, shortstoptrigger*shortstoplevel as "Short trigger", longstoptrigger*longstoplevel as "Long trigger"

  You should call your indicator like this instead:

  lsl, ssl = CALL "myATRstop"[ATRlevel]

  1	lsl, ssl = CALL "myATRstop"[ATRlevel]

  If I understand correctly, you want to modify the default parameter of the called indicator with (‘multiplier’ variable) with ‘ATRlevel’ from the strategy?
