Indicator to plot on last 10 bars of chart

[sherazwaqar]

I am developing an indicator which needs to plot SMA 34 for the last 10 bars of chart and before 10 bars it should plot SMA 21.

Tried various methods but still not able to get any working version.

For SMA 21, I can use Plot21.Set(10,SMA(21)[0]); but for the SMA 34 cannot figure out the exact conditions. I have used ((Count-1) - CurrentBar == 10) but it does not dynamically moves the plot as the chart progresses.

I will greatly appreciate any help in this regards.

Thank you

I think that your method may be going about it in a convoluted way that may not even work.

Better would be to simply set the Plot to SMA(34), then reset the Plot 10 bars back to SMA(21). As this would be editing a historical data stream, you would automatically have a running update. You need only one Plot: just reset it as necessary.

Hi Sherazwaqar,

Thank you for your post.

I can see you are using one of the overload methods from the Plot.Set(); which contains

Plot.Set(Int barsAgo, double Value);

Can you share a sample of the code? If you feel more comfortable you can send me an email with the strategy attached to Suppor[at]Ninjatrader[dot]com

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you for your quick response. My brain is numb on this. Can you please share a code example. What is the condition to reset the plot.

For example

Plot34.Set(SMA(34)[0]);

if(Condition) // Please provide some help on the condition
{
Plot34.Set(10,SMA(21)[0]);
}

From the description that you gave, no condition is necessary! It will be an unconditional reset.

Plot34.Set(SMA(34)[0]);
Plot34.Set(10,SMA(21)[10]);
