Indicator properties

[levikNT]

Hi,

I would like to create an indicator that will get a structure type as a property .
instead of separate parameters how can I do that?

for example:

struct indInfo
{
int x;int y ,int z, ........
}

calling the indicator:
indInfo info = new indInfo;
myIndicator(indInfo);

instead of myIndicator(x,y,z,....)

thanks, kobi

No can do. Been there, tried that. NT seemingly acknowledges it as a limitation.

Hello kobi,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, I could not get a struct to pass more than one variable. I also could not find any means to pass more than one variable from a struct in one call. For example, I would have to use myIndicator(indinfo.x, indinfo.y, indinfo.z).

If you are trying to bypass entering values each time you can create a variable of the indicator. For example:

        #region Variables
		private EMA myEma;
        #endregion		

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
			myEma = EMA(20);
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			Print(myEma[0]);
		}

Hello PatrickH,

1. It doesn't matter if there is a means to pass a struct to indicator as a parameter , I should able to do that.
2. The reasons that I want to pass a struct as a parameter to Indicator are:
2.1 if I want to add more parameters to indicator, then I will only update the struct and wouldn't update all the calls to that indicator .
2.2 I want them as a group data in the Indicators window under the parameter section, and I would like to collapse or expands these parameters as I do from the plot section.
2.3 conveniences issue

thanks, kobi

Which means that you have not read my response, where I explain that I have already been down this road, and NT accepts it, more or less, as a limitation in the current incantation?

I made the same arguments, for the same reasons. They are all in the thread to which I referred you.

Hello koganam,

Sorry, I did read your response , but may be I did understand Patrick response.
I hope that in NT 8 that we wait a lot for NT release, NT will fix this basic BUG, or limitation.
Thanks ,Kobi

Thanks for the feedback here Kobi, I've noted it as well in our enhancement trackings list for consideration in NT8 (#1283).
