Two moving averages indicator.

[germano]

Hi… and Happy New Year to all.

I have a question.

I want to build an indicator composed of two equals moving averages, namely: SMA1 (28) [0] and SMA2 (28) [0]. But the second moving average has moved forward by 7 periods.
My code move forward both moving averages, not just one.
Someone can tell me where is the error?

Thank you for your help.

The code:

publicclass TwoEqualsSMA : Indicator
{
#region Variables
privateint period = 28; // Default setting for Period
privateint displace = 7; // Default setting for Displace
#endregion

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
// 1° Moving average
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "Value_SMA1"));

// 2° Moving average
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Blue), PlotStyle.Line, "Value_SMA2"));
Displacement = displace;

CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = true;
}

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
Value_SMA1.Set(SMA(period )[0]);
Value_SMA2.Set(SMA(period )[0]);
}

Germano, the displacement would be used for both plots in your indicator.

Try for example this for more control on it -


protected override void Initialize()
{
// 1° Moving average
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "Value_SMA1"));
// 2° Moving average
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Blue), PlotStyle.Line, "Value_SMA2"));
//Displacement = displace;
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = true;
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < displace) return;

Value_SMA1.Set(SMA(period )[0]);
Value_SMA2.Set(SMA(period )[displace]);
}

Bertrand, thank you for your help.
Now, the indicator works perfectly.

Thank you again.
