Converting List to Series

[ScaleInTrading]

Hi there,

I am using C# Lists to track things which don't occur on every bar (e.g. ZigZag Highs). Is there a way to use existing indicators on my list values (e.g. convert the list to a series)?

An example of what I am trying to achieve is:

private List<double> ZigZagSwingHighs;
....
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
ZigZagSwingHighs = new List<double>();
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(IsNewSwingHigh())
ZigZagSwingHighs.Insert(0, ZigZagHigh) //The insert here replicates the series behaviour with [0] holding the latest value.

Plot[0] = SMA(ZigZagSwingHighs, 5); // This will fail as it's a list, not a series...
}

Hello Adfra,

Thank you for your post.

You could loop through the List and add the values to a data series and then add that to the Plot.

For example:

		private List<double> ZigZagHighs;
		private Series<double> MySeries;

			else if (State == State.Configure)
			{
				ZigZagHighs = new List<double>();
				MySeries	= new Series<double>(this);
			}

			if (IsNewSwingHigh())
				ZigZagSwingHighs.Insert(0, ZigZagHigh);
			
			for (int i = ZigZagHighs.Count; i >= 0; i--)
			{
				MySeries[i] = ZigZagHighs[i];
			}
