Indicator constructor overload

[GrumpyTrader]

Many of my indicators have parameters that are formatting based, such as opacity, etc. Is there away to overload the constructor of an indicator so that I don't have to provide those parameters and they can just use their default values?

Alternatively, add another attribute to the parameter that makes it optional? or use the optional parameter C# syntax.

Hi GrumpyTrader,

I am not aware of a way in C# to call a method or function without the defined overloads.

However, you could make a copy of the indicator that hard codes these instead of making them public inputs.

This thread is also open to anyone who may know of a way to accomplish this and would like to contribute.

Hi GrumpyTrader,

Try removing the "[NinjaScriptProperty]" tag from in front of the properties you don't want to pass to the indicator.

Thanks NJA_MC,
That worked perfectly !! You're a lifesaver.
