How to use bars.Period.Value in my strategy code?

[kbellare]

I'm optimizing my bar period (e.g. 1 min, 5min, 9 min etc) and would like to use bars.Period.Value in my strategy parameter for my indicator. Example,

MACD signal window = bars.Period.Value*2

How do i declare this variable in my strategy code, so i can reference it in my strategy code?
Please provide sample code ..

thanks

Hello Kiran,

Thank you for writing in. Assuming MACD Signal Window is an integer, you could use:

MACDSignalWindow = BarsPeriod.Value * 2;

Please elaborate on exactly what you are trying to do if this does not resolve the issue.
Thank you in advance.
