changing the input series

[mximing]

I am using an indicator with another indicator as the input series, instead of an index like the ES. I want to make this into an indicator but I cannot find anything about changing the input series to another indicator. Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

All indicators have an overload in which you can supply an input series to the indicator. Can you tell me, are you currently doing this in the chart and asking how to do this with Syntax instead?

If so, one example would be the following:

double sma = SMA(EMA(12), 14)[0];

In this case, the EMA 12 is being passed as the input series for the SMA 14.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks, Jesse. That is what I was looking for. While I have you here.....I have an indicator that paints the bar when an MA is rising or falling. I want to add another MA to the indicator, so it only paints the bar if both MA is rising or falling. How would add the second MA? Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

This would largely depend on your current logic, but if you were using the Rising and Falling methods, you would just append another condition to your existing condition with the && operator.

if(Rising(SMA(12)) && Rising(EMA(12)))

I look forward to being of further assistance.
