Price parameter in Moving Average

[bmaltz]

Hi,
I would like to plot a displaced simple moving average of: (O + C)/2

How would I modify the Simple Moving Average ninjascript code to effect this change?

thanks,
Ben

Hi,

You would have to create a new indicator and create a DataSeries, lets call it displacedData and set its values on each call to the OnBarUpdate() method.

Something like:

displacedData.Set((Open[0] + Close[0]) / 2);

Then you would do something like:

Plot0.Set(SMA(displacedData, 20)[0]);

Could I take the existing Simple Moving Average file make a copy and rename it and add the (O+C)/2 code to it?

Just open the original SMA file, right click, save as and name it whatever you want. Then just edit the new file and compile it. Make sure to change the indicator references at the top and then you should be good to go.

Hi uacvax,

Thanks for the help. Can you be more specific about which references need to be changed?

Thanks,

I'm not a C# programmer, can you possibly provide any more assistace in creating this indicator?

Thanks,

Unfortunately are unable to provide assistance in programming implementation.

Take a look at some of our system indicators such as Stochastics to get an idea of how to use a DataSeries object.
