API Support » Custom Indicators not updating when called in Strategies Mar 16, 2017 @ 08:20 AM (Total replies: 5)

Thanks for the response. I am sure that others want to do a similar processes with strategies so what is the recommended code implementation that you all would suggest while the bug is being fixed? Since OEC Trader has been out for a while and this bug is just being discovered, I am sure there must be a another way to work-around it that you or other users would recommend to use.

Thanks

Thanks Jason.

Here is some additional information. I placed the ind file is in OEC/PlugIns folder and I have tried referencing them in \AppData\Local\OEC\CustomIndicators\bin.3.5.15.134\ but I still get the same result.

Is there another way that I should / could call custom indicators from a strategy?

Thanks

API Support » Custom Indicators not updating when called in Strategies Mar 01, 2017 @ 05:56 PM (Total replies: 5)

I have customer indicators that I have created that I reference in my custom strategies but the indicator calculations are not updating as the strategy runs.

I log of the indicator values from the strategy that is referencing the same indicator that is displayed on the chart. The values are changing on the chart (the indicator works) but the log is showing that the indicator values are not updating in the strategy from the first bar when it is turned on. When I back test, the strategy works fine but when I turn it on and let it run live the values do not update so the strategy does not work correctly.

Am I calling the indicator correctly or is there a method that I need to call to get it to update?

Thanks
