Configure Add(PeriodType....) via input

[xenayoo]

Hi,

i want to create a multiple TimeFrame Indicator, wich plot various calculations depending of inputs. For example:

I want to plot a 5 min SMA in a 1 min chart. I create an Indicator where I can select type (Tick, min, day....) and value (5 for 5min...)

can I check this in protected override void initialize()?

for example:

protected override void initialize()
{
     if(TimeFrame = "Minute")
     Add(PeriodType.Minute, Value);
     if(TimeFrame = "Tick")
     Add(PeriodType.Tick, Value);
    .......

Hi Jens, unfortunately dynamically adding series with logic in the Initialize() would not be supported. You could add all series need and then plot selectively as desired.

Hi Bertrand,

now I got an 'unfortunatly' again...... So I have two write one indicator for every timeframe I want to add..... And I hoped, that I can do this without my global variable...
