Hi,
I was just wondering if you plan to add any more indicators to the Strategies API. I am particularly interested in using the Parabolic SAR indicator in a strategy, but it is not included in the 'List of indicator's parameters'.

Thanks and I think it is a great program.
Regards,
Annette

Hi annettes,

It is not necessary for the Parabolic SAR to be added to the API, you simply need to pass the correct parameters when using the CreateIndicator function.

As you already noticed it is not listed in the help file but if it were there it would look something like this:

Parabolik-SAR <StartPR: double>; <StepPR: double>;<EndPR: double>

'Parabolik-SAR' '0.02;0.02;0.2'

0 SAR Buffer

You may also pass the parameters for the line style though not quite sure of the correct syntax for this.

Regards,
Steve
