Dropdown Menu

[algospoke]

I have created a strategy that has 3 separate methods of calculations to obtain a long entry. See below code example. I want the user to be able to select from a drop down menu when adding the strategy to select either 1, 2 or 3. What do i add to my code so that there is a drop down menu?

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(CalcMethod ==1)
{
Calculations.....
}
if(CalcMethod ==2)
{
Calculations.....
} if(CalcMethod ==3)
{
Calculations.....
}
}

Right now I have it set up so that user can enter 1, 2 or 3 when adding the strategy to the chart (using Ninjascript properties - see below) but if they mistakenly put a value greater than 3 then the strategy doesn't execute.

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Select Calc Method", GroupName = "NinjaScriptStrategyParameters", Order = 0)]
public int CalcMethod
{ get; set; }

Hello algospoke,

Thank you for your post.

You can use an enum to create a drop-down menu with a list of options for the user to choose from in the Strategy Parameters.

Please see this sample script which demonstrates (this is an indicator example, however you can implement this in your strategy as well):

If you have any further questions, please let us know.
