Question about plot multiframe

[turbofib]

1) I want to plot in the same indicator 2 indicator SMA
is correct to do this or exist another good way to plot in multiframe

    else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute,30);
            }

    protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {

            if (BarsInProgress == 1)
                test=SMA(BarsArray[1], 3)[0];
 Value[0] =test;

2) can i choose how many series to add and the BarsPeriodType by general menu indicator?

(see example in the pics below)

If answer is Ok....how can i do it?

thanks

Hello,

If you are asking how to plot the SMA for the Primary and the SMA for the secondary series from the same indicator, you could use something like the following:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
	if (State == State.SetDefaults)
	{
		AddPlot(Brushes.Red, "Plot0");
		AddPlot(Brushes.Red, "Plot1");
	}
	else if (State == State.Configure)
	{
		AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Minute,30);
	}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	if(CurrentBars[0] > 1 && CurrentBars[1] > 1 && BarsInProgress == 0){
		Values[0][0] = SMA(BarsArray[0], 12)[0];	
		Values[1][0] = SMA(BarsArray[1], 12)[0];
	}
}

For the second question, the items in State.Configure can not be directly modified from the user interface, for example if you had a property to select the BarsPeriodType, changing it would not affect the already applied indicator. Instead you would need to remove the indicator and re apply it each time.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

1. A WORST PRACTICE is "inline" function calls which waste huge amounts of CPU cycles and memory. AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE.
   
   
2. Omitting error handling in OnBarUpdate in NT8 is just asking for trouble, and you will get it.
   
   
3. You WILL get bars numbered -1 each time the indicator loads. If you process them they are gonna cause problems.
   
   
4. It's safer to do stuff related to BarsArray[1] when BarsInProgress = 1.
   
   
5. Don't ya just hate that "Java style" bracketing that makes code so hard to read?

             a1= sma1[0];
