Normalize HMA indicator (0 to 1)

[btwaugh06]

In the UI, when I place an HMA indicator on an existing panel that happens to have StochRSI (already normalized between 0 and 1) then it graphs the HMA between 0 and 1 where I can look at levels of oversold/undersold with reference to the HMA which I find useful. How can I replicate this in code? I've been unable to figure this out. I simply want to see when HMA(10) is above .8.

Thanks,

Brian

Hello btwaugh06,

The HMA and RSI produce very different values. When you have this on a chart, are the indicators using the same Scale justification?
Are using the RSI as the input series to the HMA?

You can have a condition that checks the HMA(10) is above .8.

if (HMA(10[0] > .8)
{
// trigger action
}

However, likely the HMA is always going to be above .8 as this is an average of the close price.

I recommend you print the HMA value to confirm it is what you expect.

Print(HMA(10)[0]);

Hi Chelsea,

After researching it all day, I ended up doing the following to mostly achieve what I was looking for. I normalized it to a particular range of the past 150 values in the data series like so to get the 0-1 values. Hopefully others may find this helpful.

double valueMax = MAX(HMA(50),150)[0];
double valueMin = MIN(HMA(50),150)[0];
double valueRange = valueMax - valueMin;

normalizedHMA[0] = Math.Round(((HMA(50)[0] - valueMin) / valueRange),2);
Log("Normalized HMA(50): " + normalizedHMA[0], LogLevel.Information);
