Accessing other indicators

#1 Postby Jonathan » Sun Jan 20, 2013 7:00 am

Hi,

I have an indicator I would like to backtest which relies heavily on other indicators lilke MA, RSI, Stochastics. I would like to recreate this indicator for Forex Tester 2 in order to test it thoroughly.

I have 2 questions regarding this:

1) How can I access the other indicators and their respective values in C++? Or would I have to code the indicators myself?

2) Is there a way to give a bar another color via the indicator rather than "only" plotting a line?

Thanks in advance :)

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for your questions.

1) Sorry but for now it is not possible to access indicators from other indicators. you can only embed the code of one indicator into another indicator. Source codes of our built-in indicators are available in "Forex Tester\Examples\Indicators\Delphi\IndicatorsSrc" folder

2) No, it is not possible to change the color of the bar from the indicator.

Hi there,

I would like to ask what is the procedure to embed an indicator into the code of a newly created indicator?

Where would one inject the code, and how to reference to it?

Is there an example somewhere?

Thanx
