  Hi

  Is it possible to return a value (ex: 1.3) from an indicator to a system and how do I code that?

  This is a one-line indicator that does the job:

  RETURN 1.3

  1	RETURN 1.3

  You need to use CALL to get the returned value from it:

  ReturnedValue = CALL "MyIndicator"

  1	ReturnedValue = CALL "MyIndicator"

  you don’t need to write any parameter since it doesn’t expect any, as it only returns one value.

  Indicator

  RETURN 1.3,20,5

  1	RETURN 1.3,20,5

  Strategy:

  X,y,z = CALL "MyIndicator"

  1	X,y,z = CALL "MyIndicator"

  If you strategy doesn’t need all the three returned values, it may use the keyword IGNORED for those unwanted:

  X,ignored,z = CALL "MyIndicator"

  1	X,ignored,z = CALL "MyIndicator"
