Data Series as input value

[Hawk Arps]

I am interested in creating an indicator which identifies divergences between price and oscillator. Is it possible to offer a choice of oscillators (data series) as an input value? If so, how could this be done?

Hello Hawk Arps,

Thank you for your post.

Yes you can create a user defined input to pick between different oscillators or input methods for your custom indicator you are creating.

Please see our Reference Sample on Creating a user-defined parameter type (enum)

Thank You Mathew,
Is there any way to do it without hard-coding the oscillator options, but instead allow the user to choose from whatever methods he has available in his indicator library (including proprietary ones)? Each oscillator may have different number and types of inputs // ie: Stochastics(periodD,PeriodK,Smooth) vs. Momentum(Period) .

Hawk Arps,

Unfortunately it would not be possible to automatically pull the options/parameters - at least not a supported possibility. These values would need to be hard coded and switched when a particular indicator has been selected.
