Plot SMA's

[tacticaltrader]

Hi Support,

I'm trying to work out how to plot a SMA with a period of 12 on a chart.

I used the wizard for this.

Code is as such....

#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
privateint period12 = 12; // Default setting for Period12
#endregion

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{



Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.CornflowerBlu e), PlotStyle.Line,"Plot12"));

Overlay = true;

CalculateOnBarClose=false;

.....//This section I can't work out?

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
Plot12.Set(SMA(period12); ??
}

How do I set Plot 12 to the SMA period12? So that it will plot the SMA of period value 12.


Thanks
Bruce

Bruce, for the SMA you could also use the per default supplied SMA indicator from NT.

But for your code you would need to pick a double value from the series you access here (the SMA method returns a series per default)

So for example :

Plot12.Set(SMA(period12)[0]);

OK Thanks for your help...Got that working.

Don't quite understand the [0] though... Is this for the current Bar?

Great to hear, correct index [0] is the most recent completed bar.
