Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

Getting User Input provides boolean toggles for on/off states, color pickers, integer and float numeric controls, symbol choices, price levels, price sources, timestamp selections, timeframe resolutions, string options, and session filters. Inputs are organized into groups for clarity. The script compiles by plotting na with no data drawn on the chart or separate pane. It functions purely as an educational example to teach input syntax rather than any trading signals, calculations, or visual analysis.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
