Complex parameters / parameters set

[Orion1504]

Hi!

I have an indicator which does some things depending on parameters x, y and z which can be changed in the indicator options by the user.

There can be multiple parameter "sets" though. How do I implement this?

So the indicator should do something for example if:

x = 1 and y = 1 and z = 2

OR

x = 1 and y = 1 and z = 3

OR

x = 2 and y = 0 and z = 2

I thought about using files but not sure whether that's a smart idea because the parameters change depending on the stock/instrument.

I appreciate any ideas. Thanks!

Hi Orion, thanks for writing in.

You can make multiple instances of the same indicator in your script that have different parameters. I attached a example for reference.

Please let me know if this does not resolve your question.

Hi Chris, unfortunately not.

I don't know how many sets of parameters there are and I also need the parameter values of each set to be checked together.

Optimally I would be able to loop through "sets of parameters" and execute my logic based on that.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Orion, thanks for your reply.

You can call the indicator "on the fly" within OnBarUpdate and that way you can loop through a set of parameters. Make sure to check that there are at least x bars on the chart where x is the largest lookback period for the indicator e.g.

OnBarUpdate:

if(CurrentBar < MaxPeriod)

for(int i = 10; i < MaxPeriod; i++)
{
Print(SMA(i)[0]);
}
