Accessing User Parameters

[dkrumholz]

I want to color price bars based on the value of the RSI. How should I construct the test to see if the value of the RSI is above or below the parameters the user selected for the upper and lower values? What variables hold the user selections for upper and lower parameters?

Hello,

These are found if you click on the grey Variables near the top of the code or the Properties box near the bottom. They are light grey.

Which Variable to Reference?

This is the variables section -

 
#region Variables
private DataSeries avgUp;
private DataSeries avgDown;
private DataSeries down;
private int period = 14;
private int smooth = 3;
private DataSeries up;
#endregion

This is the properties section -

 
#region Properties
/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries Avg
{
get { return Values[1]; }
}
/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public DataSeries Default
{
get { return Values[0]; }
}

/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Description("Numbers of bars used for calculations")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public int Period
{
get { return period; }
set { period = Math.Max(2, value); }
}
/// <summary>
/// </summary>
[Description("Number of bars for smoothing")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public int Smooth
{
get { return smooth; }
set { smooth = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
#endregion

The RSI has two lines being drawn. The user can specify values for both the upper and lower lines. A gif of the settings that can be specifed by the user is attached.

What variables would hold the value specified by the user for the upper and lower lines? What code would I use to test if the value of the RSI was above or below each of those two user specfied values.

if RSI > ????????

or if RSI <= ??????????

Thanks

drumholz, you could access those for example with this snippet call -

 
if (rsi > Lines[1].Value) ...

This would access the second line's value, as the index is zero based...
