Indicator Reference

You can use a variety of indicators in a trading system. They can be used in your scripts, as well as graphed with the trading data.

There are three types of indicators:

Basic Indicators that use a built in formula. These are computed pre test.

Calculated Indicators that take an expression. These can only use pre test static data as they are computed pre test.

Custom Indicators that are computed during the test using the Update Indicators script.

1) To create a new Basic or Calculated indicator for your block, click on the Indicators item in the lower left panel of the Blox Editor and hit New.

2) To create a Calculated Indicator, select the Calculated type from the type drop down box. You can then enter an expression in the Indicator Value Expression box.

3) To create a Custom Indicator, create an Auto-Indexed Instrument Permanent Variable of type Series. Then assign this value in the Update Indicators script.
