How to set default BarsPeriodType and Value?

[ttodua]

How can i set defaults of Period Type and Value, so, when adding my indicator, it was by default chosen to have, i.e.:

Week (Type)
5 (Value)



I tried BarsPeriod in State.SetDefaults, but it seems Null by that time..

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for your post.

To clarify, do you want your indicator to plot based on that specific default bars period and value regardless of the Period Type and Value of the chart it's applied to?

Or is this an indicator hosted within another indicator or strategy and you're wanting the user to be able to choose the values for those?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

just defualt indicator, and inside "State.SetDefaults" i want to set some "default" type and value of barsperiod, so, when user applies indicator on chart, and in Indicators configuration window, the default was chosen i.e. week, 5 (instead of Day, 1)

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for your reply.

The primary bars period type and value of a chart cannot be modifies by an indicator through supported means.

You may be able to use unsupported code, but this would not be recommended. You might find some code from this add-on to be useful should you opt to go the unsupported route:
