You can now save multiple configuration for any of your indicator with PRT v11. So that’s easy to retrieve your own custom settings this way.
Thanks Nicolas, but this not solve the problem, i will explain.
Think about this scenario (sample) : MyIndicator has 3 parameters (DateFrom, DateTo, PriceAlert) and work between the 2 date to monitor PriceAlert.
I export MyIndicator to Nicolas. Nicolas import into his platform then insert MyIndicator:
– 3 instance of MyIndicator in Eurostoxx50 chart timeframe h1, each instance with 3 set of parameters different each other (20200101, 20200130, 500) (20200201,20200228,400), (20200401, 20200430,400)
-3 instance of MyIndicator in SP500 timeframe h2, ach instance with 3 set of parameters different each other and obsiously form any other (20190101, 20200131, 500) (20200305,20200428,400), (20200318, 20204240,500)
-3 instance of MyIndicator in SP500 timeframe Day, each instance with 3 set of parameters different each other and obsiously form any other (20190101, 20200131, 500) (20200305,20200428,400), (20200318, 20204240,500)
-2 instance of MyIndicator in DAX timeframe Weekly, each instance with 3 set of parameters different each other and obsiously from any other (20180101, 20200130, 7500) (20180105,20200128,7400), (20200218, 2020401,700).
Nicolas has 11 instance of my indicator in his platform, each with her set of parameters, and Nicolas don’t have to remember where an what combination for each one becasue has saved into platform with every chart.
Now robocop make bugfinxing/efficiency and export a new version of MyIndicator sending MyIndicator.itf to Nicolas.
Nicolas import it and immediatly loose “all” related to MyIndicator: link to 11 instance and settings.
Nicolas must remeber where he inserted (weeks ago) all instance of MyIndicator and have to re-insert.
He must copying parameters, but every instace has its own paraters, so he had to remeber all or written before to paper.
Now, if we imaging that in the future PRT will keep link to chart but reset all parametrs but keeping saved configuration as a profile like you show:
we must remember that each istance has his own values, so we have to save every TRIPLET of value wich a name that distingues it from other, like MyIndicatorDAX20180101ecc, we have to save every triplet and to resave it every time we change from the chart.
I think that is not the way.
I think that the way, as in all envinroment that i know, assure “Backwards Compatiblity”: like i suggest in my previous post PRT should (but i humble opinion i think “must”) keep “all” when import an indicator that alreadt exists, and “all” stands for “all”: links to alla instance of all charts, thinking that indicator can exist many times in each charts with his own parameters, setting for each instance. Default values for new parameters must be used only for new parameters, which have been introduced wiht new relaease.
Thank you for patience, and if you think i’m wrong and we have a short and efficient way that i have not seen yet, i am very happy to be wrong!
