Indicator Parameter that defaults to same parameter used by another Indicator

[upshon]

Hi

I have a number of custom indicators, is it posible to on the Initialise method to set the default value of a parameter to the value used buy one of my other indicators if it is loaded?

I have tried the following

protected override void Initialize() {

Overlay = true;
if (strength == -1) {
strength = 2;
foreach (Indicator ind in Indicators) {
if (ind.GetType() == typeof(HiLowSwing)) {
strength = (ind as HiLowSwing).Strength;
}
}
}
}

The Indicators collection is empty, can i reference the indicators collection loaded on the chart?

Thanks

Mike

Hi upshon,

You'll need to access one from the OBU() as seen in this sample:

Hi Tim

I assume buy OBU() you are referring to OnBarUpdate()?

What I want to do is to set the default in the Initialize() method so when the properties dialog for the indicator pops up when you add the indicator the default is set there, this gives the user the ability to override if required.

So what I am asking is how would I access the already loaded Indicators from the Initialize() method.
Thanks

Hello,

This would be unfortunately not possible.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
