multiple overloads of indicator

[ttodua]

is it possible to create an indicator with several overloads?

like it was possible to call my indis:

MyIndi ( bool XYZ )

and also with

MyIndi ( int XYZ )

and i could handle each scenario in MyIndi code.

does it break anything if i add constructors (inside ` public class MyIndi: Indicator`) like these:

public MyIndi(int xyz) { }
public MyIndi(bool xyz) { }

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for the post.

You could do this by creating a second partial class that is similar to the existing NinjaScript generated code at the bottom of the file. Please note this is not something we document or support, but I will provide a small sample that you can further explore. I see that when compiling this does not get removed, so in theory, this will allow for a custom set of overloads to be defined. In the case this did get replaced, you could move this into a second .cs file.

Creating another partial class would allow you to define a new constructor with extra parameters. A public property from the indicator is used, but you could also toggle other user input properties at this point as well.

public partial class Indicator : IndicatorBase
{
	public ExtraContructorIndicator ExtraContructorIndicator(bool b)
	{
		ExtraContructorIndicator t = ExtraContructorIndicator(Input);
		t.TestBool = b;
		return t;
	}
}

Once the class is defined, you can then explore the overload sets the indicator has which I have shown below:

double a = ExtraContructorIndicator()[0];  // no parameters 
double b = ExtraContructorIndicator(Close)[0];  // default input
double c = ExtraContructorIndicator(true)[0];  // custom bool

I look forward to being of further assistance.
