A user defined indicator that I made for volatility. I know I can call any of
the built-in functions, how do you reference one that is a user-defined plot
(indicator)?
i.e., I have created a special volatility indicator called "_RC Volatility",
and I need to refer to it in another indicator that I am writing. It won't
let me say
value1 = _RC Volatility(10);
It gives an error that says 'Word not recognized by easy language and the _RC
is highlighted.
The work around is that I could duplicate all of the code in _RC Volatility
and put it in the new indicator I am writing, but there really *should* be a
way to just refer to it, as you can in Metastock. I just can't see how TS
would only let you call the built-ins, and not allow you to refer to a
user-defined plot/indicator from within another indicator.
Thanks for your input, any other ideas?
