be able to change color in exported strategy with indicator

[tkaboris]

well i guess this answers the question.
An indicator added by a strategy cannot be configured manually.

I wanted the user to be able to change line colors of the indicator, when I export the strategy that is calling indicator.. I guess its not possible and only solution is to provide user with seperate indicator where he actually can change color lines.

Hello tkaboris,

Correct, as stated in post # 9 a an indicator added by a strategy cannot be configured manually, and will only use the settings supplied by the strategy.

"I wanted the user to be able to change line colors of the indicator, when I export the strategy that is calling indicator.. I guess its not possible and only solution is to provide user with seperate indicator where he actually can change color lines."

Also, as suggested post # 2 you could add public properties to the strategy and use these to set the indicator values.
Have you done this as directed?

Hello tkaboris,

In the Strategy:

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[XmlIgnore]
[Display(Name="DownTrendColor", Description="Color of the down trend line.", Order=6, GroupName="Parameters")]
public Brush DownTrendColor
{ get; set; }

[Browsable(false)]
public string DownTrendColorSerializable
{
get { return Serialize.BrushToString(DownTrendColor); }
set { DownTrendColor = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
}

In OnStateChange() when State is State.DataLoaded of the strategy:

BTL = BBTrendLine(false, Strength, true, false, 60, DownTrendColor, Brushes.Green, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Green,3);

ok and inside indicator, I dont have value plotted that references from strategy. DOes this look as it should if I want to add public properties to the strategy and use these to set the indicator values.
set { DownTrendColor = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }

AlertOnBreak = false;
Strength = 5;
ShowHistory = true;
LimitHistory = false;
LimitHistoricalLookback = 60;
DownTrendColor = Brushes.Black;
UpTrendColor = Brushes.Green;
lineWidth = 3;
DownHistColor = Brushes.Black;
UpHistColor = Brushes.Green;

Hello tkaboris,

Any values you want the user to be able to set on the indicator from the strategy, create a public input for that property and supply this to the indicator.
