It says here that this functionality is not available in MC.NET
By default or totally not?
Do I really need to hard code everything? how? why?

Re: Choosing study value input
Hi Karol,
Thanks for the link.
From the example there I see that it helps in not needing to hard code a study in a study, which is a step forward.
Is there a way to get a list of studies that are loaded on the chart and/or on other charts?
[In SC I can base a study on data from another study on the current chart, or even from a study on a different chart very easily]
Without the above capability (which I can't find in the wiki) there are two major problems:
1. If I have an ADX on a chart and I want to add a moving avg on that ADX, with the example from Henry it means that my MA will run another ADX instance in the background. wasted processing.
2. Without a way to choose an input from a list, it means that I need to code every study when ever I want a study based on a study.
Just as a reference in SC you have IDs for all loaded charts, with that you get access to IDs of studies loaded on those charts, and from there you get access to IDs of data outputs/sources from those studies.
And you do all that in 2 lines of code.
What can we do in MC.NET?
Thanks,
TC

Code: Select all
private ADX m_adx_indic;
protected override void Create() {
plot1 = AddPlot();
m_adx_indic = (ADX)AddIndicator("ADX");
m_adx_indic.length = 20;

Re: Choosing study value input
Hello TicksCollector,
That is possible to register each instance of the indicator you need in a singleton and then access this information when you need it, without creating excessive instances of the study. This is a native C# functionality.

Re: Choosing study value input
Hi Henry,
I checked the link but I don't see how it can help to find studies that are loaded on a chart...
Basically all I want is this functionality in MC.NET:
https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... ator_2.png
To have (for example) a moving avg study that I can plot based on a random study that is loaded on a chart.
I know how it's done in SC but MC.NET is a real struggle for me
If it's not much to ask can you please post a code that does that?
Many thanks,
TC

Re: Choosing study value input
No need for an apology
I loaded the study, it works now, but it's not what I'm (and I'm sure many more) trying to get .
Here is my apology since maybe I wasn't clear enough...
All we want is this feature:
http://www.multicharts.com/trading-soft ... _indicator
To have an input that can see which **random studies are already loaded** on a chart and choose one of them as input.
In your example we're again back to hard coding which study (or strategy in your example) our indicator looks for.
No, it needs to be random, just like in the link.
Hope it's clearer now.
Have a great weekend,
TC

Re: Choosing study value input
TicksCollector, this functionality in PowerLanguage runs an instance of the study in the background. It does not use the study you have on a chart or a study from a different chart.

Re: Choosing study value input
I see...
Weird, I thought that with C#.NET support there won't be any limits like in custom scripting.
I registered to the PM forum but it looks so overwhelmingly loaded that for someone who just "tests the water" with MC.NET (SC is my main/current platform which I'm heavily invested in programmingly), to start a quest for new features... with users votes... it's a bit too much atm.
I hope regular MC.NET users will pick this issue up since I have my own "battles" with SC to look after
Thanks for your help Henry. very appreciated.
TC
p.s. How can I reverse the price scale modifying ability? can't find that option.
Now it expands/compress with "click&drag" and moves with "CTRL down + click&drag".
I need it the other around (i.e. just move up/down with "click&drag")

I'm not sure I understand what custom scripting limitation you are referring to. There was a solution provided to every scripting question you've asked.Weird, I thought that with C#.NET support there won't be any limits like in custom scripting.
