Hi anton.kovalchuk,

If you could share the indicator with us, then maybe we could create an example for you.

Hi Anton,

Since you cannot provide me with the indicator, please see below how you can access the values of an SMA indicator from a cBot.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        private SimpleMovingAverage _sma;

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(MarketSeries.Close, 14);
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            Print(_sma.Result.LastValue);
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {

        }
    }
}

You can adjust the above sample to your indicator.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thank you a lot Panagiotis

To clarify only, so I can use data from indicators that exist in cAlgo\Sources\ catalog only. Correct? 

An indicator that I was going to use does not exist there but exist in standard indicators list. as on my screenshot:

Hi Anton,

You can use custom indicators as well. Read how to do this here.
