Accessing indicator from signal  [SOLVED]

When searching the forum for info on accessing indicator (values) from a signal, I came across a post in the MC.net part of the forum.

http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/v ... o+function

Henry replied that for MC.Net it will probably will be implemented in version 9.

Is this also the case for the normal MC to be implemented in version 9. Or is this already possible in some way.

I think you could do it by using a global variable..

Thanks for your reply, Sptrader.

This was also mentioned in the other post I think. You can also use ADE.

But the problem with using these solutions is that optimization is not possible when using GV or ADE. Therefor I now duplicate the indicator code to the signal.

And it would be much easier to call a function (of indicator values) in a signal. Maybe also the use of plotting and other "indicator" reserved words would be possible in a signal.

That's why I was wondering if this is already implemented in normal MC or that it is scheduled for next versions just like the MC.net version.

Hello evdl,

We are going to add similar functionality for PowerLanguage in MultiCharts 9.0 as well.

Ok, thanks Henry.
