Can you set "Bars to Load" programmatically in Market Analyzer Column script?

[karlomacariola]

Hi I hope someone can help. Can you set the Bars to Load property of a Market Analyzer Column script programmatically or at least initialize it in your code? I believe it is set to 50 bars by default. Many thanks in advance to anyone who answers!

Hello karlomacariola,

Unfortunately, the Data Series properties like Bars to load cannot be set programmatically by any script.

You could choose to save a preset so this loads the desired bars to load when adding a new instance of that market analyzer column script.

Hi Chelsea. Many thanks for answering my question and it is unfortunate that the Bars to load property can't be programmatically initialized. I hope this is something you can consider adding in the future.
