Remarks

Not only is this function used to set simple inputs such as BarElement, it is also used for setting inputs from other indicator instances. This is the basis for indicator "chaining".

Examples

Construct a smoothed EMA using indicator chaining(C#)
CopyC#
Indicators["EMA10"].CreateIndicator(new EMA(10));

// Create an instance of EMA that will be smoothed
// using the instance above.
Indicators["EMASmoothed"].CreateIndicator(new EMA(10));

// Specify the closing price as the input for our primary EMA.
Indicators["EMA10"].SetInputs(BarElement.Close);

// Chain EMASmoothed with EMA10
Indicators["EMASmoothed"].SetInputs("EMA10");

// Set the series color for the smoothed EMA
Indicators["EMASmoothed"].SeriesColor = Color.Crimson;

// Add smoothed EMA to the charts.
Indicators["EMASmoothed"].AddToCharts();
