I have an indicator that takes one parameter.

I want to use the indicator in a filter block.

I can add a filter, rename the filter, write OL code to call my indicator in the Long and Short Conditions edit box. But I have to hardcode the parameter to my indicator in the OL.

I want to have the parameter passed to my indicator be a "Parameter" from the Filter block's perspective. IE I want the value to be set by the Parameters block in the upper right corner of the Filters block UI. I want to be able to assign a min and max value and oprimize.

How do I do this?

Example
EMA( 50 ) < c ' this is hard codeded - no Bueno
EMA( param1 ) < c ' I want param1 to be listed in the Parameters UI so I can assign min, max, and default values...

Thanks

I am probably completely misunderstanding your question but for the opportunity to learn here is my simple solution to what I think you are asking:

Yep. My question was so damn stupid it is no wonder that you couldn't believe I was asking it.

I absolutely did not see the Add button in the Parameters UI....

Being blind sucks...

Thanks

No problem. We hold hands and feel our way along - I've got wet AMD.

Lots of research being done on AMD (and RP).

Hope springs eternal.

Blessings!

I did some optimizations in a filter block today, and I have to admit that I ran into something I thought I knew the answer to years ago. If I check for optimization, how can I see the optimized values like I can in the Port Sim? Is the filter block doing dynamic optimization perhaps.?
