SMA of an indicator

[erinys]

Hi,

My first attempt at coding an indicator. I'm trying to create a SMA of the forecast oscillator (FOSC), where I can select the period of the SMA as well as the period of the SMA. I'm totally stuck.

This is what I have:

double test1 = SMA(FOSC(Close,Period1),Period2)[0];

Any help would be appreciated!

SMA of an indicator

I'm getting an error, 'property accessor already defined' (CS1007). how can I correct this. I'm attaching the full code below. SMA_N is the parameter for the SMA moving average period, and FOSC_N is the parameter for the forecast oscillator (FOSC) period. Thanks in advance! E

Hello,

Try starting over and only use this line in your OnBarUpdate block (and make sure Overlay = false in your intialization block so it shows up in a lower panel):

Plot0.Set(SMA(FOSC(Close,14),10)[0]);

thank you!
