Limited Number of Parameters

[gofortips]

Hello,
I'm developing an indicator and I've just added another property parameter to my code. The software works fine with the initial value assigned to this new parameter. But, for some reason, it doesn't appear in the parameter list when I open the indicator. Notice that deleting any other parameter from my script, then, it appears in the indicator GUI. I've tried any combination, changed names, etc. but nothing worked for me. I need only four parameters in my indicator but it looks like my system is limiting me to three parameters only. What can I do?

Post your parameter code section, so we may have a better chance of figuring out the issue.

Hello gofortips,

Sledge is correct, we would need to review the Properties region of your code.

Hello,
Below you can see the variables region from my script as well as my Properties region.
I hope you could figure out what the problem is.
Thank you for your help.

Remove this line:

[Browsable(false)]	// this line prevents the data series from being displayed in the indicator properties dialog, do not remove

That is preventing your first one to not show. You have removed the dataseries from the params section.

public DataSeries Plot0
        {
            get { return Values[0]; }
        }

YES!!, you are right, everything is working fine now.
By the way, I've intentionally deleted the Plot0 parameter. I have no Add command in the Initialize method.
The indicator receives the data from the graph where it is applied.
I know it's not the general way you explain how to use NinjaScript, but it works fine and all the commands in my script refers to the default input.
Do you think this method can be problematic in some way?
Thanks a lot for your help.

No, you should be fine.
