Button

[Gibranes]

Hello
I have a button created in the chart, I want that when I click it, it recalculates with an increment the moving average associated to the event.
What steps should I follow?

Hello Gibranes,

I am not certain I understand what you are asking, are you saying that for example you used a 12 period SMA, when you click the button you want to calculate a 13 period SMA on the next click?

[Gibranes]

If so, is it possible?

Hello Gibranes,

IF what I described is what you are asking then yes that is possible. In a button event you need to use a trigger custom event and then call the indicator with the parameters you wanted.

TriggerCustomEvent(o =>
{
/// your code
double value = SMA(12)[0];
}, null);

Not exactly what I am looking for is to be able to change these values from the button without going into the properties box.
Is this possible?

Hello Gibranes,

You can reset the properties value if you want to however that won't be reflected if the user opens and reconfigures the properties window or applies a new script, the defaults of the script will apply or the users input values will be used.

Well, I'll give it a try.
What code do I look at?

Hello Gibranes,

To set the inputs you would use the same code you used to use the inputs.

MyInputName = someValue;

But it does not do a reload like entering the properties window.
