RE: using Bar collection and indicators (eg DMS) in background job.

Ofcourse, sorry for being that brief.
I have a backgroundworker that needs to use some indicators while running calculating some MTF bars. the values of the indicators are be used in the backgroundcalculations and the indicators should preferably be local to the backgroundworker (static)

Usage like var O = Bars[10].Open;

var I DM = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(entry.14);

How to achieve that without invoking the main thread?

You can't. If you need data from the Bars object, you need to work on the main thread.

Ok. Related Question. Is there a way to start a Plugin from an indicator or Cbot. Alternate: can i start Backtesting (from plugin) in Indicator/Cbot?

No there isn't

may I ask why? ctrader itself uses headless indicators and bots in back testing and optimisation . Would be nice if we could use this to!

There is no specific reason. Such a feature is just not implemented. Also you asked about accessing plugins and backtesting, not cBots and indicators

You’re right. Indicators and bots was related to the initial question.
