Custom Indicator Parameter*

[Morpheus_0]

Hello Dreemas,

I am using a custom indicator with only 1 parameter.
Length = 14

Yet when I open the Indicator block the field is empty.

Also in the settings it doesn't show up.

I want to change the Length to 28 but if I input 28 in the Block, the EA will still only read the default of 14......

How do I do this...??

Have you tried making input variable then attach it to the Length window?

@William29 Thanks for replying. Yes I tried that....

@Morpheus_0 Did you select the correct variable type for it? Is it integer instead of double maybe?

@l-andorrà Hello my friend. Thanks for replying*

So the weird thing is: If I select int the field comes up as empty.
If I select double, the field comes up with 14 in the box....

However, if I change it to 28, the EA still reads the value as 14 in the backtesting....

In the indicators inputs, it looks like the int icon....

Any further ideas....?

Man, that goes beyond my knowledge, sorry.

@l-andorrà - Damn....

So have you successfully changed parameters in custom indicators before and actually had it work....?

@Morpheus_0 Here's the thing with testing using custom indicators. The parameters of testing will be default indicator parameters. So your thing might only can be tested in real time.

Dear William,

Thankyou. That would indeed explain the issue.
