Functions
input.session()
Asks the reader for a session and gives you back a string. The contract fixes the type of that string and not its spelling, so confirm the form the platform hands you before you compare against a literal.
Syntax
input.session(const string defval, const string title, const string tooltip, const string inline, const string group, const bool confirm) → input string
Arguments
defval required const string Determines the default value of the input variable proposed in the script's "Settings/Inputs" tab, from where the user can change it. When a list of values is used with the options parameter, the value must be one of them. title const string Title of the input. If not specified, the variable name is used as the input's title. If the title is specified, but it is empty, the name will be an empty string. tooltip const string The string that will be shown to the user when hovering over the tooltip icon inline const string Combines all the input calls using the same argument in one line. The string used as an argument is not displayed. It is only used to identify inputs belonging to the same line. group const string Creates a header above all inputs using the same group argument string. The string is also used as the header's text. confirm const bool If true, then user will be asked to confirm input value before indicator is added to chart. Default value is false. Return Type
