Moving Average in Market Analyzer NT7

[ij001]

Hello there,

I was looking for clarification on setting up a custom indicator in MA for NT7:

1. I add my custom indicator via Market Analyzer > Columns > Choose "Indicator"

My largest EMA period in my code is 75.
2. > General > # bars to look back: 75

My question is this the correct logic behind MA with a moving average?

- In MA it is looking back 75 bars to get the EMA value or needs that many BarsRequired before it can get a calculation?

Hello ij001,

You can imagine the # bars to look back setting as the number of bars that would be on a chart. (In fact you can set Load data based on to bars and set this to 75 on a chart and add the indicator to visualize this)

When an indicator has the full period it will calculate using the full period. If the not all of the bars are available, the Moving Average indicators specifically that are included with NinjaTrader will begin calculating once the BarsRequiredToPlot is satisfied (which is set to 20 in these scripts).
