user definable value

[sandman]

Part of something I am developing contains

var margin = ((max - min) * 0.7);

The "0.7" is something I would like to be able to change so as to more easily find out whether 0.4 or 0.5 or whatever is best rather than continuing to have to go into the code and change it there.

How can I make that user definable in the indicator menu?

I already added:
#region Variables
private double moderate = 0.1;
#endregion
and
[Description("Percentage of upper and lower margin.")]
[Category(" Moderate")]
public double Moderate
{
get { return moderate; }
set { moderate = Math.Max(0, value); }
}

But how do I have to change this line:

var margin = ((max - min) * 0.7);

This:
var margin = ((max - min) * "moderate");
does not work.

Hello Sandman, and thank you for your question. I have attached an example indicator which compiles and which uses a variable called Moderate the way you described. Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Hello mylanel,

I have already assisted you in this thread.

I would like to reserve this thread for helping sandman. Thank you for using Ninja.

Jessica. Thank you. I tried that but no go because, I think, my min/max are already defined differently.
(Also I deal with decimals).
Would you mind if I email you the full code for you to see the fuller picture?
