Request - HMA and Bollinger Bands In Single Indicator

[koganam]

So I have to ask. Isn't that code performing the entire BB calculation from a series THREE separate times? One complete calculation for each of upper, lower, then middle? Isn't there some way for greater efficiency sake to calculate the BB result only once, and then pull the three needed values (upper,lower,middle) from the results of that single calculation?

Thanks....

Use a named instance of the indicator, in which case the OBU event will set all 3 values, and you can query them on the same tick.

Sounds good. I am relatively new to developing on this platform, so I tried the above and ran into a problem. I could not construct the named Bollinger instance with appropriate arguments, but I could construct an instance with the default constructor. Now I cannot find any methods which will allow me to feed it the specific parameters I need. Thanks for any help again....

// err msg says no ctor with 3 arguments ??? WUT?
// but the lang reference seems to say this is OK ???
//Bollinger ind = new Bollinger(mySeries, bollingerBandsStdDev, bollingerBandsPeriods);

// this is valid, but now how do i then use it - i see no list of callable methods
Bollinger ind = new Bollinger();

Don't use the 'new' keyword.

//no
Bollinger ind = new Bollinger(mySeries, bollingerBandsStdDev, bollingerBandsPeriods);

//yes
Bollinger ind = Bollinger(mySeries, bollingerBandsStdDev, bollingerBandsPeriods);

Do not use the new keyword.

This post shows an example of how to create a named instance (actually multiple ones), albeit they are EMA's, not Bolli's. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d.php?p=221406
