Saved Block¶
Library
Reference a saved strategy and expose its Chart-feeding producers as this node's outputs. Replaced by the referenced strategy's subgraph at execution time.
Saved Block lets you reuse a strategy or indicator you've already built as a single node inside another graph. Instead of rebuilding a complex custom indicator every time you want it, you save it once and drop a Saved Block that references it — its outputs become available as if it were a built-in block. It's how you build your own library of reusable components and keep big strategies clean.
How it works¶
Pick a saved indicator/strategy in the Indicator parameter. At execution time the Saved Block is replaced by the referenced strategy's subgraph — its internal blocks run as part of your graph, and the producers that strategy feeds to its chart become this node's outputs. The Bars input feeds the referenced strategy's data source, so the saved component runs on whatever bars you wire in (typically your <Primary> feed). In effect it's a live include: change the saved strategy and every graph that references it picks up the change.
When to use it¶
Use Saved Block to package and reuse your own work. If you've built a multi-block custom indicator — a confluence score, a bespoke filter, a composite oscillator — save it and reference it wherever you need it, instead of copying a dozen nodes by hand. It keeps complex strategies readable (one node instead of a tangle) and gives you a single place to maintain shared logic. It's the foundation of building a personal block library on top of the built-in catalogue.
Example¶
Reuse a custom filter: build and save a multi-block "trend-quality filter" once, then in a new strategy drop a Saved Block referencing it, wire your <Primary> Data Source into its Bars, and feed its output into an And gate with your entry — exactly as if it were a built-in indicator. Backtest in the Tester.
Tips & gotchas¶
- It's a live include — the referenced subgraph runs inline, and edits to the saved strategy propagate to every graph that uses it.
- Feed it your bars — the Bars input replaces the saved strategy's own data source.
- Keeps big graphs clean — one node instead of a copied cluster.
- Maintain shared logic in one place — the reason to reference rather than copy-paste.
