How to add Simple Moving Average (SMA) to Indicator

[lee612801]

Hi,

I have an indicator I am working that I would like to integrate the SMA into for plotting purposes. I am currently using the plot function (Add (new Plot"""" //within the Initialize section) with a dataseries, but I realize that what I am really looking for is the SMA of this dataseries. I can add it after the fact within the chart, but I would like it to be part of the indicator. What is the best way to add this and is this added into the Initialize section or in the main code? Also, how would I graph both the plot and the SMA at the same time if I wish to do so? Do I need to have multiple dataseries to do this?

Thanks,

Lee

Hello lee612801,

It is not possible to add an indicator to another indicator for automatical plotting the way this is possible with strategies.

If you would like to add an indicator to this indicator, you will need to add a new plot, then set the plot value to the value of the SMA.

Below is a link to the help guide on Add() for indicators.

Also, below is a link that describes how to call the SMA.
