EMA of High - Low

[glenng]

Trying to create an indicator which double smooth's the High - Low - I keep getting errors. Here is an example in its simplest form.

emas.Set (EMA(High - Low, R1)[0]);

I am not sure if I need the DataSeries, but that is my latest attempt. Error says I cannot use the minus sign.

I get override errors when I try to assign to a double. Is it that you cannot do an EMA of calculated price data?

Hi glenng,

To do what you want you will need to create a DataSeries that contains your High-Low calculations. Then you would just do something like: EMA(EMA(myCustomDataSeries, Period), Period)[0];

To create the DataSeries you would set it to take on these values:
myCustomDataSeries.Set(High[0] - Low[0]);

DataSeries cannot be operated on with math. The values contained in them can though.

Got it! Thanks much.
