Save and load template/settings

[pjsmith]

Hello,

I run quite a few instances of a single indicator, though all with different settings. As I do a lot of testing with temporary instances of the indie too, I would like for those instances to be able to programmatically load their settings from a file. Before I go re-invent the wheel, is there a supported or recommended way to do this? (rather like the template functionality, but programmatically)

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

You could load values from a file using a C# StreamReader and assign these values to settings variables.

I would recommend you do this in State.Configure. This would overwrite any values set by the user, so it may not be necessary for these to be public and are private variables instead.
