It's quite easy to do a call like this in Metastock since there's a specific function for it FmlVar, but in MC I'm completely lost

calling an indicator
I'm testing an indicator that needs the values given by another indicator. How can I "call" those values into this new indicator?

Simple use of indicator value in another indicator is not POSSIBLE !
Not possible in MC but anothers can do.
And forget about easy and simple:
1. use of mixed instrument data (without putting all 100 instruments on chart and reference them throu number-index)
2. use of different timeframes data in indicators/functions
3. indicator values as arguments for another indicators or functions
4. data containers like in STL (Standart templates library) specially register/dictionary (i know easycollections.dll without seconds-handling)

"NOT Simple" is true. Same as in TS and most of the software.
However it is not impossible.
For the advanced users with advanced requirements,
here are some reading material for the intrepid.

Re: calling an indicator
Is this still "impossible" to do ? (I say impossible without going deep in what TJ left)
Let's say I have an indicator number 1 called "Volume divided by X"
Now I create another indicator number 2 and would like to have the "Volume divided by X" somewhere in the calculation.
Still not possible to call Indicator number 1 in the code of Indicator number 2 ?
(this is just a simple example, of course, what I want would be way much more complicated)

Code: Select all
input: x(2);

Re: calling an indicator
Hello, Automeq
Now it is possible to use the values of the other indicators as inputs for indicator or signal. Here is how to do it: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... y_on_study
