Import of Directional Ind. PlusDI

[Brian]

If I use the NATIVE "Directional Ind.", how can I import the plusDI value? (For backtest performance, prefer the native indicator at the moment.)

Express TestCode
VARS
series MACD (MACD.Main); // works
series plusDI(DirectionalInd.plusDI); // fails

I assume that the problem is with the name “Directional Ind.”. However, I have guessed all over in the dark and failed. How would it be called?

Thanks, Brian

Hi Brian,

yes, your assumption is correct. When writing the indicatorName please remove all space and non alphabetical characters, i.e. numbers, _, -, +, /, …, etc. but not any alphabetical characters.

In your case you need to add the last"DI" (after +/-):

plusDI(DirectionalIndDI.plusDI);

Kind regards,
