Syntax for two moving averages

[germano]

Hello,

sorry, I have a new question.

I want to build an indicator that has two moving averages; one move 10 bars ago on the current bar and the other not.

Type:

protected overridevoid Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.Red, "SMA"));
Displacement = 0;
Add(new Plot(Color.Green, "SMA"));
Displacement = 10;
}

This syntax does not work. How do I do?

Thank you for your answer.

Hi germano, is this the only code you use for your Indicator? It misses the OnBarUpdate() where the values are calculated for the plots you created.

You can just load two regular SMA indicators on the chart, both will offer the displacement parameter for setting it to your needs.

I tried even so, but does not work:

publicclass SMA2 : Indicator
{
#region Variables
privateint period = 28; // Default setting for SMA
#endregion

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red), PlotStyle.Line, "SMA_1")); //Displacement = 0;
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green), PlotStyle.Line, "SMA_2")); //Displacement = 10;

CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = false;
PriceTypeSupported = false;
}

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
SMA_1.Set(SMA(period)[0]);
SMA_2.Set(SMA(period)[10]);
}

Did you notice errors in the log tab with this new code?
