Need help with my Projection tool Study

[jgj]

Hi,

I have a study called projection tool and I am using different displacement figures for the different time frames I'm using. These are in a dropdown menu. I was wondering if it's possible to select from the dropdown menu the desired displacement and automatically populate it to the displacement input field.

I have attached an image. See below

Here's the study:

#JJ Projection tool
#Definitions
def na = Double.NaN;
def h = HighestAll(high);
def l = LowestAll(low);

# Inputs for EMA2 and Inversion
input priceChartDisplay = close;
input avg_type = AverageType.SIMPLE;

#Switch for Chart Time Frame
input TimeFrame_Displacement = {default Daily_82, Hourly_140, Fifteen_Minute_520, Five_Minute_1560};
input avg_len = 5;
input displace = -82;

#MovingAverage
def ma1 = MovingAverage(avg_type, close, avg_len);

input show_ma1 = yes;
plot z1 = if show_ma1 then ma1[-displace] else na;
z1.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);

def lowdiff = ma1 - l;
def ma1_inv = h - lowdiff;

input show_inverted_ma1 = yes;
plot z2 = if show_inverted_ma1 then ma1_inv[-displace] else na;
z2.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
z2.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);

#AddLabel(1, "   Normal   ", Color.CYAN);
#AddLabel(1, " Inversion ", Color.YELLOW);

no, can't use a formula with input.

could use an if then to assign the displace number.

an example of comparing agg times,

Ok. So, the label would show the desired setting on the chart in the correct time frame but I would still have to manually input the displace number. I'll try that. Thanks for your help.

no, i meant you can use an if then to compare some values to a variable and assign a number, like in the example code i linked.
An if then could compare several values to TimeFrame_Displacement and when there's a match, it could assign a specific number, the displace number.

Ok. Now I understand what you mean ... but the reality is, it's going to take me a while to figure out how to do that on thinkscript but I will try. Thanks again for your time.
