SMA of an Indicator at Certain Times

[aligator]

Dear Support,

In NT7, can the value of an indicator (5-min chart) at a certain time during the past n days be programmed?

Example: I want to calculate the average value of the RSI(14) at 10:00 AM over the past 10 days on a 5-minute chart.

SMA = Sum (RSI(14) [Date0,Time 10:00] + RSI(14) [Date1, Time 10:00]

+RSI(14) [Date2, Time 10:00) +......+ RSI(14) [Date 9, Time 10:00]) / 10

What would be the simple statement in NT7 to calculate the above SMA?

Thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thank you for writing in.

You can use the GetBar() method call to obtain the bar index that matches the time stamp based on the DateTime parameter passed in. With this information, you can calculate the barsAgo value of the bar you wish to get your indicator values at: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...t7/?getbar.htm

Example:

// obtain the barsAgo value of the 10 AM bar for May 11th, 2016
int barsAgo = CurrentBar - Bars.GetBar(new DateTime(2016, 5, 11, 10, 0, 0));

Using this method call, you will be able to obtain the barsAgo values for the dates and times desired and use this value to get the indicator value for that specific bar.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.
