Input​

The input function is here for you to add more details to your indicator with the help of the customized features. The input function declares a parameter setting of a certain indicator, so you can have the ability to configure this parameter in the traderoom user interface. The values can vary widely, as this function is a general declaration of any new feature of the indicator.

Syntax Format​

fill_color = input { default = rgba(86,206,255,0.15), type = input.color }

In the traderoom such an input parameter can be displayed in the settings:

Input Group​

The input_group helps you create blocks of settings, similar in purpose, to structure the script code and make it easier to read and alter if necessary.

Syntax Format​

For example, you can use the Input Group function to enable visual settings to the indicator:

input_group {
    "Top Box",
    top_color = input { default = "#25E154", type = input.color },
    top_width = input { default = 1, type = input.line_width}
}
input_group {
    "Bottom Box",
    bottom_color = input { default = "#FF6C58", type = input.color },
    bottom_width = input { default = 1, type = input.line_width}
}

You can also include the calculations into the input-group function:

input_group {
    "Balance of Power Smoothed Line",
    period = input (14, "period", input.integer, 1, 200),
    fn = input (1, "Average", input.string_selection, averages.titles),
}

In the traderoom such settings are displayed in the Basic settings section:
