## <summary>
## Indicator scripts are used for calculating a series of numerical values based on the price, volume and open interest of an underlying symbol.
## Common use-cases include plotting them on a chart, displaying them as watchlist columns and using them to implement other scripts.

## <summary>
## This function accepts the user parameters for the script and is called when a new indicator instance is created.
## One of the parameters accepted by it must be that of a symbol or another script that is
## based on a symbol (drawing, indicator, pattern or signal). This symbol will be used as the underlying symbol for the indicator.
##
## The parameter values can be specified from the user interface (UI) or from another script, depending on usage.
## </summary>

## INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

## YOU MUST SET A PARAM TAG FOR EACH PARAMETER ACCEPTED BY THIS FUNCTION.
## ALL PARAM TAGS SHOULD BE SET IN THE 'OnInitialize' REGION, RIGHT ABOVE THE 'OnInitialize' FUNCTION.
## THE ORDER OF THE TAGS MUST MATCH THE ORDER OF THE ACTUAL PARAMETERS.
## REQUIRED ATTRIBUTES:
## (1) name: The exact parameter name.
## (2) type: The type of data to collect from the user:
## Set to "Integer" when the data type is 'int'
## Set to "IntegerArray" when the data type is 'int[]'
## Set to "DateTime" when the data type is 'long' (The 'long' data type can only be used for date/time representation)
## Set to "DateTimeArray" when the data type is 'long[]' (The 'long' data type can only be used for date/time representation)
## Set to "Boolean" when the data type is 'bool'
## Set to "BooleanArray" when the data type is 'bool[]'
## Set to "Double" when the data type is 'double'
## Set to "DoubleArray" when the data type is 'double[]'
## Set to "String" when the data type is 'string'
## Set to "StringArray" when the data type is 'string[]'
## Set to "Indicator" when the data type is 'Indicator'
## Set to "Pattern" when the data type is 'Pattern'
## Set to "Signal" when the data type is 'Signal'
## Set to "Drawing" when the data type is 'Drawing'
## Set to "Symbol" when the data type is 'int' representing a symbol index.
## OPTIONAL ATTRIBUTES:
## (3) default: The default parameter value is only valid when the type is Integer, Boolean, Double, String or an API Type.
## (4) min: The minimum parameter value is only valid when the type is Integer or Double.
## (5) max: The maximum parameter value is only valid when the type is Integer or Double.
## EXAMPLE: <param name="" type="" default="" min="" max="">Enter the parameter description here.</param>
