see code below;

TradedInstrumentChart = this.DukasContext.getChart ( this.TradedInstrument );

TradedInstrumentChartMaIndicatorFast = this.DukasIndicators.getIndicator ( "SMA" );
TradedInstrumentChart.addSubIndicator ( 1 , TradedInstrumentChartMaIndicatorFast );

TradedInstrumentChartMaIndicatorSlow = this.DukasIndicators.getIndicator ( "SMA" );
TradedInstrumentChart.addSubIndicator ( 1 , TradedInstrumentChartMaIndicatorSlow );

questions;

1. How do i set indicator parameters like Price, Time Period, Color, Width, etc. ?
2. Can I force the indicator to show a different period (i.e., days) when displaying a 10-min chart ?
3. Can I force the Chart to open in a specific period (e.g., 5-min) ?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm certainly not a member of Duka's Support, but in the meanwhile, maybe these informations can help you:

1. Have a look here https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/index.php ... Indicators
2. Yes, that is definitely possible. You could set a configurable parameter, for example:

    @Configurable(value = "TimeFrame")
    public Period period = Period.FIVE_MINS;
    @Configurable(value = "Indicators")
    public Period indiPeriod = Period.FIVE_MINS;

or just change the period directly in the indicator's code.

3. Please elaborate.

Thanks for the reply, but I guess I wasn't clear ... #1 I am talking about code in a strategy (with visual turned on during develop,ment) ... As you can probably tell, my example uses a fast and a slow MA to make extry/exit decisions ... I would like to be able to see these indicators while developing the startegy, but the code I included always brings up the indicators with a default period ... I want to be able to set them in my startegy code to show say a 50-day and a 250-day MA on the chart associated with the strategy ... to make matters worse, the slow MA maybe in days and the fast in hours ... It appears that there is a way to do this by setting non-optional and/or optional indicator parameters from my sw, but I haven't been able to get that to work ... any help appreciated

Dear support - con you please make this issue a priority

this is a common topic, that has appeared since at least 2007 where you have said each time this will be implemented in the near future!

Is it yet implemented, Is it planned, if so then you will know when it is to be expected? Cna you share a little more detail please?

*************************************
It's very difficult to debug strategies without being able to see the indicators that they are working with.
You have a good base in JForex, such a relief to get away from the MT4 universe - but things like this begin to make me look else where.

Please give a reasonable expectation of when this will be implemented. It really puts people of when you say "near future" and it is now 3 years later...

Thanks

In any case, we are doing our best.

Hi,
1. You can use IChart.addIndicator(IIndicator indicator, Object[] optParams) method to specify optional parameters for the indicator you attach to a chart e.g.

            IIndicator ind = indicators.getIndicator("SMA");
            //setting-up the applied price
            for (int i = 0; i < ind.getIndicatorInfo().getNumberOfInputs(); i++) {
                InputParameterInfo inputParameterInfo = ind.getInputParameterInfo(i);
                inputParameterInfo.setAppliedPrice(AppliedPrice.LOW);
            }                                                   
            chart = context.getChart(Instrument.EURUSD);
            //setting-up time period, color, drawing style and line width
            chart.addIndicator(ind, new Object[]{100}, new Color[]{Color.RED}, new DrawingStyle[]{DrawingStyle.LINE}, new int[]{3}); 

2. You can achieve this by adding an additional input for a different period to your custom indicator.
3. No, you can't.
