Calculate SMA on Momentum: Periodtype problem

[valent197]

Hi, i want to have an indicator that shows if the weekly momentum is above or below his moving average. The periodtype should always be weekly, no matter which period is selected on the chart. The idea is the following but it only works on a weekly chart. Can you help me please?

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Linie"));
Add(PeriodType.Week, 1);
Overlay = false;

}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (CurrentBars[0] <= BarsRequired || CurrentBars[1] <= BarsRequired)
return;

double mom1 = Momentum(Closes[1],28)[0];
double smamom = SMA(Momentum(Closes[1],28),28)[0];
if (mom1 > smamom)
Linie.Set(1);
else if (mom1 < smamom)
Linie.Set(-1);
else Linie.Set(0);

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

The reason it does not plot on intra-day data is it is only looking 20 bars back (BarsRequired by default is only 20 bars).

Your indicators calculate on a period of 28 for the weekly chart. 28 weeks means 196 daily bars, and 282,240 minute bars.

So you would need to load 282,240+ bars on your minute chart to see these values.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Do you know how can I run this indicator with CalculateOnBarClose = false for the weekly period type. For example on a Dayly Chart?
Thank you again for your help!
