Loop through a list of variables

[dadarara]

short question.

I have 10 variables the user sets up in the strategy definitions. TradeSize1, TradeSize2, etc..

I want to be able to loop through the variables.
something like bellow

for ( int i = 1; i<10 ; i++)
{
.....
tradesize = ("TradeSize" + i.ToString());
....
}

I searched in the forums and apparently is seems it can not be done. PLS confirm ?

so I though I will create a LIST and populate it with the values during the
State == State.Configure stage.

whats the best programing practice for such a case ? It looks like I need to loop through the same variables, or just have 10 separate lines of :

TradeSizeList[1] = TradeSize1;
....

Hello dadarara,

Thank you for your patience, sorry for the delay.

Correct, You will need to store the variables in an array and loop through them. Since these are public properties input by the user, it is not possible to load them into an array right away. You will need to implement a way to load them in 'by hand'. I have made an example of this below:

I am assuming that TradeSize is of type int.

public class SampleLoop : Indicator {



protected override void OnStateChange()
{

 private int[] myArr;

 if (State == State.SetDefaults)
 {
  ...
  TradeSize0 = 1;
  TradeSize1 = 2;
  TradeSize2 = 3;
  TradeSize3 = 4;
  TradeSize4 = 5;
  TradeSize5 = 6;
  TradeSize6 = 7;
  TradeSize7 = 8;
  TradeSize8 = 9;
  TradeSize9 = 10;

  myArr = new int[10];


 }
 else if (State == State.Configure)
 {
  ...

  myArr[0] = TradeSize0;

  myArr[1] = TradeSize1;

  myArr[2] = TradeSize2;

  myArr[3] = TradeSize3;

  myArr[4] = TradeSize4;

  myArr[5] = TradeSize5;

  myArr[6] = TradeSize6;

  myArr[7] = TradeSize7;

  myArr[8] = TradeSize8;

  myArr[9] = TradeSize9;
  
}

protected void OnBarUpdate(){
 //now you can loop through the data. 
 for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i){
  Print("TradeSize"+ i + " equals " + myArr[i])
 }
}
