indicator current value
-
I know that this seems rudimentary, but it is something I need to do all of the time and seem unable to find the "secret" combination.
(It would be very nice if one of the blocks you made available is: IndicatorValue)
(Also, this forum cannot tell me if you have already answered this question... I put in the search string in Advances search of "get indicator value" and it tells me that those words are too common... even using get+indicator+value")So, how to I set a variable to the value found in one of the buffers of an indicator?
I do see how to use ModifyVariable. However, that does not allow picking the buffer (as far as I can tell).
(picture please)
- I find that even simple words in this context [maybe any context] often do not translate well for me.
Thanks,
Dwight

What, you can't pick buffers? Where?
-
OK, so I was picking indicators that only had one buffer... and under those conditions there is no need to "pick" a buffer...

Sorry...Well, on a similar theme, how do I capture into a variable the current candlestick (buy) bid and (sell) offer price values (or any of the other candlestick values)? In this case, what I want to do is to follow a candlestick that is spiking and (sell) close the trade when the spike turns (per tick tracking).
Thank you,

Candlestick buy and sell values?

Sorry, you will clearly see that I am a newbie..

Bid and Ask current prices (in my mind, this is the current candlestick condition).
Again in this case, I wold like to close a trade very close to the end of a spike by using some measure against the size of the body of the previous candlestick (OPEN/CLOSE?) and the size of the spike as it exists at this moment in time based on bid and ask pricing.
I truly hope that my irritating questions do not cause offense.

Candles are built over the Bid price. Look in this block called "Condition", you can find Ask, Bid, Candle Close,Open,High,Low... many things

Thank you. That is very helpful.
Am I simply missing bid and ask price for the most recent tick?
Here is what I see as the options...
