Enable edit of 'Plots" and "Lines" in Indicator Properties UI

[hedgeplay]

Greetings,


What edits are required to this indicator file to enable edit of 'Plots" and "Lines" in the Indicator Properties UI?

Thanks!

Hello hedgeplay,

I believe it would be the AddPlot Statements here. They would need moved into SetDefaults. Configure can be used for custom cases but SetDefaults would otherwise be needed.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jesse!

I felt like there was something basic I just had to be overlooking. That was it.


Would love to get your insights on other approaches I might try for the "how to ensure controlled authorship of shared data content objects" challenge I just included in the post at the link below.

A DM or email works if there are ideas you guys are not ready share broadly.

• The trickiest bit .. For some shared objects I wanted to ensure only that only one instance of one single indicator or strategy class was allowed to author/create and edit content. A solution?
  • A large thread-safe class per shared object works well but then adding all those classes introduces loads of additional app bloat / unwanted app complexity.
  • Did not run a solution in production but saw some potential promise in releasing time limited editor permissions to an instance by capturing and restricting access to " this.id " of the approved instance.
  • After X time with no heartbeat or content updates another instance of the indicator auto-took editorial ownership of the shared object.
  • I anyone has a better solution I am all ears.

Hello hedgeplay,

I don't personally have any comments that I could supply with the given details in the other thread, there are not any supported means for creating a series in a common class that I could suggest. You could utilize an Indicator for creating a series but as far as I am aware all series use requires a context which has a bar series so I don't see any way that could be replicated without using an Indicator.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

HI Jesse,

Thanks for the reply.

Relative to as much as could be understood from the OP's posts I think Jim's response of passing the ISeries interface to a method seems like a pretty good answer.
