Custom indicator import missing inputs

I’m trying to important an indicator with partial success, but the inputs for period and deviation are missing in SQ.

input double deviation = 2.0;                      //StDeviations
input int deviation_period = 14;                   //StDevPeriod

These are the 2 parameter inputs for the indicator. The only parameter options in SQ are ‘Shift’ and ‘Value’.

What needs to be changed?

Hello,

when you import custom indicator values you cannot modify periods and parameters. Check this for more information https://strategyquant.com/doc/strategyquant/external-indicators/

That hurt to read, Tomas.
Ok

I’m trying to compute StdDev from High-Low.
Maybe this custom block will be a sufficient comparison, but not exactly the same.

Forgot to attach images:
1st image is what I am trying to get.
2nd image is a custom block I made as a half ‘fix’.

Did a little research using tradingview pinescript and I dont think using custom blocks will be sufficient. Pic below has the different variations.

Notice that StdDev(High-Low, 20) always has positive values, because its just showing BarRange.

Just sharing for anyone interested.

So the best way to do this will be to convert the indicator to java.

Hi,

right, adding the Java snippet is the most effective way compared to the custom block. Once you manage to add a new indicator the next time it will be a lot easier
