Dynamically loading an Additional Series

[markdshark]

I discovered it's not permitted and tried to get around it by doing this in State.Configure thinking perhaps at least make a choice about it once but no, that's not permitted either. I'm guessing the only way would be to load all choices and then use a specific one in a switch statement in OnBarUpload then?

switch (htFrame)
{
case 1:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15);
break;
case 2:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 30);
break;
case 3:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 45);
break;
case 4:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60);
break;
case 5:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 120);
break;
case 6:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 180);
break;
case 7:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 240);
break;
default:
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60);
break;
}

Hi markdshark, thanks for posting. It is possible to make this a user configurable option, it would just not work well when using the strategy analyzer. See the "Correlation" indicator in the indicators folder for an example on using user input for this method.

Kind regards,
