Indicator displacement in Strategy...

[funk101]

I'm calling an indicator in a strategy. I would like to "displace" that indicator for my strategy's logic. Is this doable?

Hello,

I wanted to define the meaning of "calling" and "displace" in this statement.

Are you adding the indicator visually using the strategy and want to Displace the indicator visually?
Or are you asking how to displace the actual data, potentially using a BarsAgo as an example?

Can you clarify which you are trying please?


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Actually, I *may* add it visually in the strategy, but right now just accessing the data. Can you show me an example of both ways?

Hello,

Visually, you would need to control the Displacement of the indicator you Add();

private SMA mySma ;

...



else if (State == State.Configure)
{
	mySma= SMA(12);
	AddChartIndicator(mySma);
				
} else if(State == State.Historical){
	mySma.Displacement = 25;
}

For the data, are you just referring to a bars ago? I am not certain on what you mean by displace the data.
For example if you wanted to use a past value on the current bar it would be Close[10], is this what you mean by displace?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Actually, I'm talking NT 8 not 7 and i'm using AddChartIndicator()
