In what order are parameters set when calling Indicator

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for your patience.

when i want to include (call) this indi into another indi, in what sequence(order) i should use the parameteres?

for example:

Indi temp_var = primary_indi( param1, param2, param3 , param4, param5)

does param1 sets - ZZZZ
does param2 sets - DDD
does param3 sets - BBB
does param4 sets - CCC
does param5 sets - AAA
?

The DataSeries ZZZZ would not be a parameter to enter values, although there is the Input Series as the first parameter (this is unrelated to your parameters).
The order would be alphabetical at that point. For example: A, B, C, D.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Yes, the order determines the input.

No, it doesn't.

In NT7, the order of the parameters is determined alphabetically, not by how they are listed as properties.

(NT8 is different, but this is an NT7 question, right?)

For example, see @KeltnerChannel.cs.

Hello TazoTodua,

Yes, the order determines the input. For further analysis, I would suggest opening an new indicator and typing MACD( , which will display an intellisense box with the parameter the MACD indicator takes. Next you could open the MACD indicator and look how its parameters are listed.

Similar to parameters, plots are also in the order that they are listed.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

and lets, another question, if in initialization, i do:


Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, "BBBB"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, "AAAA"));


(look the alpabetically reversed names), will they anyway added in this manner:

BBBB -- Values[0]
AAAA -- Values[1]

am i right?

[ttodua]

So you say the "order" parameter decides the order of arguments for external call, am i right?

otherwise, i was forced to call arguments ALHPABETICALLY.

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for your note.

You should call them in the order they are listed, the top being first.

From the calling indicator you should see these listed in Intellisense. See screen shot.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

i.e. in primary indicator, i have this order of parameters:

public DataSeries ZZZZZ
{
	get { return ZZZZZ1[0]; }
}

[XmlIgnore()]
[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters - Timeframe")]
public int DDDDD
{
	get { return DDDDD1; }	set { DDDDD1= value; }
}

[Browsable(false)]
[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters - Timeframe")]
public int BBBBB
{
	get { return BBBBB1; }	set { BBBBB1= value; }
}

[XmlIgnore()]
[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters - Timeframe")]
public int CCCCC
{
	get { return CCCCC1; }	set { CCCCC1= value; }
}

[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters - Timeframe")]
public int AAAAAA
{
	get { return AAAAAA1; }	set { AAAAAA1=value; }
}

when i want to include (call) this indi into another indi, in what sequence(order) i should use the parameteres?

for example:

Indi temp_var = primary_indi( param1, param2, param3 , param4, param5)

does param1 sets - ZZZZ
does param2 sets - DDD
does param3 sets - BBB
does param4 sets - CCC
does param5 sets - AAA
