Base Strategy calling different stratgies

Postby franky » 14 May 2014

I would like to know if it is possible to have a base strategy file which can call other strategies ? For example, Is it possible to create a charttoolbar strategy file which will call other strategies (Instead of inserting multiple strategy in the 'Insert Study' form) ?

Can't figure out how to import like blablabla = new PowerLanguage.Strategy.boblobloStrategy(this) in the create() function of the base strategy file !

Hello franky.

Unfortunately, it is not possible. You can create Study Templates and then auto-apply them: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... _Templates

You can also access objects of one study from the another one: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12593#p100345

If you want to have functionality that you have described in future, please leave a feature request at this web page: https://www.multicharts.com/pm/

Only responding on the highlighted statement: yes, that can be done.

If you let the chart toolbar button call `ChartCommands.CommandLine()`, you can use the `.isig` text command to insert another signal on the current chart.

See the wiki here for the accompanying list of parameters.

Thanks JoshM for the hint. Very useful however, it's impossible to change programmatically public parameters for the indicator or strategy with `ChartCommands.CommandLine()'.
Hope this will be fully incorporated in ver9.
But Thanks.

I've added it as a comment to an already existing PM request here:

MC-1612 - [Command Line] Allow removing indicators and strategies

Given the low number of votes of the Command Line requests (there's also one here), implementing this request for version 9 seems very unlikely.
