The methods and properties covered in this section are unique to custom indicator development. Indicator configuration properties globally define various behaviors of indicators. All properties have default values and can be overridden by setting them in the OnStateChange() method of the indicator.

See also the “Common” section for more method and properties which are shared by NinjaScript types.
