Why is DataSeries read only?
Why is DataSeries read only?

Occasionally I'll want to have a data series that works like IndicatorDataSeries and has the same indexing, is used for internal values and is not displayed, but DataSeries is read only. Why is it read only and how can I have an array that is exactly like IndicatorDataSeries (uses the same indexes) but can have values assigned from code and can be passed to an Indicator for processing?

Suppose I have some series that are used for calculation and not final display, is it possible to have it in a data series that has native indexing?
When creating a non output IndicatorDataSeries
private IndicatorDataSeries Test;
I am unable to create a new instance as its an 'abstract class', and I am unable to assign to it ( 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' )

A better way of putting my question is: Can I use an IndicatorDataSeries and hide it? Or have a buffer object that behaves the same way regarding indexes?

Found it! Sorry, didn't realise it was in the documentation.
series = CreateDataSeries();
Another question answer by myself ;)
Thanks spotware, you guys are so patient!

Dear Trader,
DataSeries is used to represent market price series. Therefore the you cannot set a value in the DataSeries array. However you by default, when you reference an indicator you already pass DataSeries as a parameter. We would like to suggest you to copy the values of DataSeries passed as parameter into an IndicatorDataSeries array and then make modifications into the values.
