Hello,

I need to code a lot of indicators and share it with friends or other people. But I need to set a “end date” to use it. Example: This indicator is ending one year later to 10/14/2020 and is function is off.

With which code can I realize?

Thanks

You can add something like this to your code:

if opendate < 20201014 then
result = average[200] //replace with your indicator code
else
result = undefined
if not done then
drawtext("Warning - this indicator has expired",barindex,result[1],SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(128,0,0)
done = 1
endif
endif

return result

You could even give advanced warning that an indicator is about to expire:

expirydate = 20180101
advancewarningdate = 20171201

if opendate >= advancewarningdate then
if not donewarning then
drawtext("Warning - this indicator will expire in one month",barindex,result[1],SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(128,0,0)
donewarning = 1
endif
endif

if opendate < expirydate then
result = average[200] //replace with your indicator code
else
result = undefined
if not done then
drawtext("Warning - this indicator has expired",barindex,result[1],SansSerif,Bold,16)coloured(128,0,0)
done = 1
endif
endif

return result
