Changing PeriodType.Day to sync with an input

[tinkerz]

I have a script the I would to sync with a strategy.

To do that I need to change from

Add("BH ##-##", PeriodType.Day,1);

Add("BH ##-##", PeriodType.Minute.1);

And change the time from 1 to whatevever.

How can I set that up from an input via a strategy? or make the indcator to work with a variable?

tinkerz,

I am not sure what you mean here. What are you trying to sync together? A strategy outside of an indicator, or an indicator called from a strategy?

What I mean is I wish to input a number or text in the indicator setup screen and use that information in the add command

tinkerz,

You can simply create a string and integer as user defined input to do so, then have the string and integer in the Add method such as follows.

Add(MyString, PeriodType.Day,MyPeriod);

The PeriodType can be set up as user defined input, but unfortunately this is unsupported coding.

The easiest way would be to setup a integer that selects which PeriodType you want, i.e. 1 for minute, 2 for day, etc.

Then you can check this integer and set the Add() method period type as follows.

If ( periodtypeint == 1)
{
     Add(MyString, PeriodType.Minute, MyPeriod);
}
else if ( periodtypeint == 2)
{
    Add(MyString, PeriodType.Day,MyPeriod);
}
