Load template via Ninjascript

[pjsmith]

Hello,

While most parameters can be set via the initial call to create an instance of an indicator, it's often the case that some are not, particularly on indies with a lot of settings. Also, a lot of settings is a royal pain, as not only is it complex to maintain, make 1 new parameter available and you are left updating all your strategy scripts, etc.

My idea is instead to load the settings template. I.e. setup your indie on chart, save the settings template, but have ninjascript code in your strategy etc., load the settings for the indie from the template, or initiate the load of the indie with that template file, rather than attempting to set all the settings traditionally. I hope this makes sense.

How can this be done?

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

There are not any NinjaScript tools for this so this would require a custom C# approach.

You may be able to XElement.Load() the template which is an Xml file and then loop through the Elements.
