After you create and train a network in Neuro-Lab, how can use it as as in indicator in a trading strategy?

The Wealth Lab User Guide, p.244, says: "Upon installing Neuro-Lab, a new Neuro-Lab Indicator folder containing a single NNIndicator will appear in list of Technical Indicators. The NNIndicator takes two parameters - a Bars object and the string name of a neural network." I can find the NNIndicator in the Technical Indicators window, but I cannot figure out how to do anything with it (e.g. edit it, add the above parameters, or bring it into a strategy). Clicking it seems to have no effect.

Also the User Guide goes on to say:"See the Sample Networks topic for typical use of the NNIndicator in a trading Strategy." However, I cannot find any description of this in that Sample Networks section.

I assume that accessing the NNIndicator is done via code, but does anyone know specifically how?

Thanks,
Ron

Just like absolutely any other DataSeries (indicators). Define a DataSeries (just like you would do with any other indicator/DataSeries e.g. Bars.Close, RSI, EMA), pass on the NN name (follow the Wiki description link below), voila.

For use in rule-based Strategies:
