Hi guys,
Is the indicator support dynamic parameter which may change after initialization?
For example,
Share New Research 
public override void Initialize() {
var period = 14;
RSI = new RelativeStrengthIndex(period);
...
}
public void OnData(Slice data) {
...
period += 20;
RSI = new RelativeStrengthIndex(period); //where the period will be 34.
...
}
Many thanks.

As far as I know, you cannot change the period after initialisation as it's an immutable property. You would have to create a new instance of RelativeStrengthIndex() if you needed a different period.

Hi Douglas,
Thanks for the reply.
What I want to do with the indicator is to use a dynamic value as a parameter. Is there any approach that I can implement it in lean?
For example,
public void OnData(Slice data) { ... RSI = new RelativeStrengthIndex(SimpleMovingAverage.Current.Value); ... }Appreciate any help possible.

Hi Jared,
Thanks for the reply. I will look into it and I will post back here once I get more info as it might be an issue to recreate the indicator and the corresponding rolling window for every single data point.
