How to do a strategy that picks an indicator

[richtobey]

This works:

private SMA mySMA = new SMA();

[Description("Indicator1")]
[GridCategory("Indicators")]
public SMA MySMA
{
get { return mySMA; }
set { mySMA = value; }
}

But what I want to do is this:

private NinjaTrader.Indicator myIndicator = new NinjaTrader.Indicator();

[Description("Indicator1")]
[GridCategory("Indicators")]
public NinjaTrader.Indicator MyIndicator
{
get { return myIndicator; }
set { myIndicator = value; }
}

The goal is that a user selects an indicator for a strategy to use and be able to input it's parameters. Similar to what the strategy wizard does, but from strategy setup.

Help?

Thanks Rich

Hi Rich,

I see what you are looking to do, but unfortunately there's no support for working with indicators like this.

You could do something with a custom enum, like shown in this sample:
