DataSeries as User Input

[SystemTrading]

Is it possible to use a DataSeries as a user input?

Ex.

private DataSeries myprice = (High+Low)/2;
 
#region Properties
 
public DataSeries MyPrice
{
 get{return myprice}
 set{myprice=value}
}
 
#endregion

Not sure what you are trying to do. How would using a DataSeries be any different than using a double?

Perhaps this will help. I want the user to input whatever price/formula they would like to calculate a SMA.

private DataSeries myprice = (High+Low)/2;

protected override void OnBarUpdate
{
 avg=SMA(myprice,20);
}
 
#region Properties
 
public DataSeries MyPrice
{
 get{return myprice}
 set{myprice=value}
}
 
#endregion

That wouldn't work. DataSeries are linked to bars. How would you move to the next bar slot? How would they input in more than one value?

If you want them to have a whole bunch of numbers, I suggest you just read it from a text file.
