I ask You very march to implement digit groups separator in indicators parametres.

You would have to serialize it as text, instead of native int or double. That means that you will also have to write code to parse your text into the correct value format for calculations.

Well, when I wrote this suggestion, I thought not like programmer, but just as user, as consumer - It just comfortable to see digit group seperately. Everywhere. In telephone numbers, in credit card numbers, in numbers of invoices, in indicator parametres.

Hello fx.practic,

Thank you for your response.

For custom indicators I can see how your suggestion would be helpful, but in general most indicators do not have this need or option as all parameters are separated.

Could you provide a use besides a custom program that would require the use of digit separation?

For example, I use 2 timeframes: 60 min and 1 min.
On 20 ranges I look on SMA(10), SMA(50), SMA(100).
An I want to see this EMA on 1 min - on exactly same slice of history so I need put on 1 min chart SMA(600), SMA(3000), SMA(6000).

And the second example: I use 20 Range chart and want to set period in single ticks (or in contracts). And my periods vary 50 000 - 1 000 000.

Hello fx.practic,

Thank you for your response.

Why not use separate parameters for each period used for each set of indicators? And for the Ticks are these values fifty thousand and one million?

I look forward to your response.

Well, PatrickH.

Thank You for Your attention.
I sure, this little feature can be useful. And I sure, also, it can bu useful in rare situations and not for all users.

As for me - I decide to set parameters in amount of thousands:
private int ticks_K = 10;

and multiply it in Initialize():
tick = Tick_K * 1000;

This is not suggestiong, I ready to struggle for. Let it be as is.

There are march and march more important suggestions (for example) - so, let's save Yours time - I abandon my suggestion about group separator.

Have a good week!
