Add second instrument when loading indicator as a paramater

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

Is it possible to add an instrument as a parameter?

For example in the code below the instrument is hard-coded I want to know if I can make it so a user can enter 6A 09-12 as a parameter when I load the indicator?

I have searched on the forums for sometime and whilst I could find some that covered the topic I'm still not quite sure if it can be done or not?

 
#region Variables
        
        private Font myFont             = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular);
        
        #endregion

        /// <summary>
        /// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            
            Add("6A 09-12", PeriodType.Minute, 1);
            
            Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.White, 5), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "Long"));
            
            CalculateOnBarClose                = false;
            Overlay                            = true;
        }

Yes, this is possible. Take a look at the following indicator which uses an Instrument name as a string for a user defined input parameter:
