sending parameters to an indicator

  Hello,

  I am new on this… Here is my question:

  I created a personalised indicator.  I would like to call this indicator from an algortithm.  When making the call, is there a way to include a parameter that I pass to the indicator.

  It looks like I can send parmeters for a standard indicator (p, q, … for bollanger…).

  I don’t see this on the online documentation.

  Thanks for your help.

  Official documentation https://www.prorealcode.com/documentation/call/ .

  Variables on the left side are those returned in the same order as in RETURN.

  Parameters after CALL  should   match the order in which you defined dynamic variables when building your indicator.

  thanks for the answer.  my question is about the after call parameters (parameter1, etc).

  myValue = CALL “myIndicator”[parameter1,parameter2]

  if i write   myValue = CALL “myIndicator”[50,10] : how can i use them in myIndicator ?

  I would like (as an example), send 50 to myIndicator that will use it in a variable (  for example  var = parameter1 * 2.  Since I put 50 in the call, this means that var would be 100 in the Indicator program

  i hope this is clearer

  When I read your answer again, you mention “dynamic variables when building your indicator.”

  i guess this is why i was not understanding how this works.

  I will write again my indicator and define the variables.  This should fix the problem.

  Thanks again

  It was clear even before.

  You have to define as many dynamic variables as you want when building your indicator.

  On the bar above your code there is a button with a wrench that will open a box to add variables with default values that you will overwrite when calling.

  The order in which you write your parameters must be in the exact order you added your  variables.

  If you define variables Avgx and C, the value of parameter1 will be stored in Avgx, the second one in C.

  Let me know if you can’t fix it.

  As soon as I am in front of my PC I’ll be able to attach some screenshots.
