Thank you very much for your response!

I tried doing this but somehow the data only comes through as NaN in the cBot.

The indicator is like this:

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

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, IsOverlay = true, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]
    public class Sample_Indicator : Indicator
    {
        public IndicatorDataSeries DataToBeReadByIndicator { get; set; }
                

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            DataToBeReadByIndicator = CreateDataSeries();
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            DataToBeReadByIndicator[0] = 10.0;
            DataToBeReadByIndicator[1] = 20.0;
            DataToBeReadByIndicator[2] = 30.0;
            
            Print("Sample_Indicator - values 0 from indicator: " + DataToBeReadByIndicator[0].ToString() ) ;
            Print("Sample_Indicator - values 1 from indicator: " + DataToBeReadByIndicator[1].ToString() ) ;
            Print("Sample_Indicator - values 2 from indicator: " + DataToBeReadByIndicator[2].ToString() ) ;
        }
    }
}

The cBot is like this:

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

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]
    public class cBot_Sample : Robot
    {
    
        private Sample_Indicator mySample_Indicator;


        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            mySample_Indicator = Indicators.GetIndicator<Sample_Indicator>();
        }

        protected override void OnBar()
        {
            Print("cBot_Sample - values 0 from indicator: " + mySample_Indicator.DataToBeReadByIndicator[0].ToString() ) ;
            Print("cBot_Sample - values 1 from indicator: " + mySample_Indicator.DataToBeReadByIndicator[1].ToString() ) ;
            Print("cBot_Sample - values 2 from indicator: " + mySample_Indicator.DataToBeReadByIndicator[2].ToString() ) ;
        }
        
        protected override void OnStop()
        {
        }
        
    }
}

When I run the indicator then the output is:

When I run the cBot the output is this:

Somehow I must be doing something wrong.

RE: cBot is not picking up values from the indicator used in the cBot Hi,

Thanks heaps for your advice! 

Is OnBar called at the start of a bar? 

Have a good one!

Hi

First - congratulations on this excellent platform! - just what I have been looking for!

My cBot draws some vertical lines and icons, which I would like to validate once a back-test is finished.

However once the back-testing finishes the cBot is stopped and the lines and icons are removed.

Is there a way to avoid the cBot getting stopped at the end of the back-test?

Thanks!

Please ignore this question - found the solution at cTDN Forum - ChartObjects drawn in visual backtesting disappear on test completion (ctrader.com)

Thanks!
