Pine script : how to refer custom indictor in Scanner or strategy

( disclaimer: I am a novice in the pine-script, and still getting hold of it )

I am using custom indicator "SSL Hybrid" - which I am trying to use in the strategy, same as any inbuilt indicator like RSI e.g.` rsi = rsi(close, 14) // Value

when I refer to SSLHybrid ( which is already on the chart ) - I am getting the below error.

x = SSLHybrid(14,1) Add to Chart operation failed, reason: line 9: Could not find function or function reference 'SSLHybrid'.

Can someone, please give me pointers - stuck on this for a while?

Built-in functions is not the same as user functions. You cannot use third party script in this way (except libraries). a) You would need to copy existing code and adapt it for your strategy.

or b) You can do something like this: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?solution=43000474048

or c) access another script plots from your strategy by using input.source function: enter image description here
