You must use the numeric value of the timeframe that you want to use
when you set the TimeFrame' value with the indicator inputs.

PRICE_CLOSE 0 Close price.
PRICE_OPEN 1 Open price.

PRICE_LOW 3 Low price.
PRICE_MEDIAN 4 Median price, (high+low)/2.
PRICE_TYPICAL 5 Typical price, (high+low+close)/3.
PRICE_WEIGHTED 6 Weighted close price, (high+low+close+close)/4.
You must use the numeric value of the Applied Price that you want to use
when you set the 'applied_price' value with the indicator inputs.

MODE_SMMA 2 Smoothed moving average,
MODE_LWMA 3 Linear weighted moving average.
You must use the numeric value of the MA Method that you want to use
when you set the 'ma_method' value with the indicator inputs.
