How to lock 2 parameters together for testing?

Is there a way to lock two parameters together for testing?

Say the period of 2 indicators, so that when testing they are both the same value?

Thanks for any help!

Dear Trader,

We are not sure that we fully understand your question.

Could you please explain us in more detail and provide us with an example?

What I was asking is it possible during optimization for parameters to move in sync.

eg;

RSI Period 14 - 21

ATR Period 14 - 21

But when optimizing they can be linked so they test the same periods together

Eg; 14 / 14, 15 / 15 etc.

Thanks

Dear Trader,

You could initialize both indicators with the same periods.

Apologies if we are wrong, but do you want to increase the number of periods during the Optimization for both indicators?

If yes, you could initialize the indicators using the same variable which you use for the periods.
