Too many inputs!

[eDanny]

Say I have an indicator that plots 10 horizontal lines and I have to enter new figures for every plot every morning. Now multiply that by three or four charts of different time frames using the same indicator. Is there an easier way to input the data without entering the same data into all three or four charts individually? Same numbers, same indicator, different charts!

If the numbers are always the same you can open the ninja script and hard code the default values under the "variables" area at the top of the code.

take a look and let me know.

The reason for the question is because the numbers would change on a daily basis, but are the same for every chart. Makes my fingers hurt!

I think what MrLogik is saying is that instead of inputting the variables into each chart individually, if you view the NinjaScript Indicator, and change the variables at the top of the indicator code every morning and recompile it, then all the charts that use the indicator will get the new inputs.

That way you are just updating once per morning.

If you send me your indicator code, I can put comments in there of where you need to change the variables.

Guess I don't see a way around, since even coding something in NinjaScript would not make a difference: the values applied to the indicators instances on chart will remain active, since they are copied as you e.g. go right click->reload NinjaScript in order to activate the recompiled indicator.

Too bad the indicators could not be linked and unlinked, to share the data. Then just reactivating in each chart would make the change. Recompiling all the time would defeat the purpose of having an easy to use interface.
