Hi Guys,

Apologies if this is a stupid question but i am new and have hit a wall with how to proceed.

I have created and indicator that shows an arrow when certain conditions are met. how do i add this parameter to a custom strategy so that when it is triggered I can use the parameter as part of the conditions. Do i need to add the indicator code to the strategy as a separate part of the code (almost like a function) or can i call the parameter from the custom indicator, if so how do i do this given it may return 2 different conditions?

Thanks in advance & sorry i have searched this but the solution is not easily found or i am not understanding.

You can use the code as a function and change it a littel to fitt, or use the Call function to load any coustome indicator you make.

It it makes 2 differnet arrows i gess you have 2 different outputs?

So can make:

If green then

C1 = 1

Elsif

Red then

C2 =1

Endif

You can embed it into your strategy, or you can use CALL which is similar to functions (functions will be supported in a future version):
```
myValue = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1]
myValue = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2]
myValue1, myValue2, myValue3 = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2]
myValue1, ignored, myValue3 = CALL "myIndicator"[parameter1,parameter2]
```
use IGNORED when you don’t need one of the returned values.

If you export your code, also the CALLed indicators will be exported. The same when you import your code.
