writing my first strategy

[gboast]

Hello,
I am trying to write a simple strategy based on the relative values of several indicators I have previously written.

Can some tell me how I can access the values of my indicators in a strategy?

Thanks,

Gordie

Hello Gordie,

If the custom indicators are initialized through efsInternal(), then they are in the Series Object form. To reference the values of these series you would use the .getValue(nIndex) method. You would then use these values within conditional statements to evaluate your trade conditions. When those conditions are true you use the Strategy object methods to report the simulated trade information to the Strategy Analyzer. If you are new to back testing, please review the back testing tutorials at the links below my signature. You'll find some basic code examples of how to write conditional statements throughout the tutorials.
