Creating An Indicator With The Primary Input Series Being an Indicator

[evanp90]

HI,

Please see the attached pic of the input series for an indicator I created. The indicator does this:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

currentslope = Slope(???? , 1, 0);
Values[0][0] = currentslope;

}


what goes where the ???? is so that I can feed this the input series?

Hello evanp90,

Thanks for your post.

With reference to the help guide for Slope(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...nt8/?slope.htm

The method syntax is:Slope(ISeries<double> series, int startBarsAgo, int endBarsAgo)

Your question is on the parameter: ISeries<double> series, The help guide advises:

Parameter: "series": Any Series<double> type object such as an indicator, Close, High, Low, etc...

Your screenshot shows a 120 period EMA as the input series, if that is what you want then it would look like: Slope(EMA(120), 1, 0).
