Question about simple indicator

[frangonve]

Hello,

I'm a newcomer to NinjaScript and I'm trying to write a simple indicator based on SMA of the previous bar

After trying several times my indicator never plots a line.

I´ve simplified the code to the minimum still showing the problem, so it's easier to debug:

This is the standard code for mycustomindicator:

 [FONT="Courier New"]  {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
            Plot0.Set(Close[0]);
        }[/FONT]

If I modify it in this way, the EMA 25 is plot:

[FONT="Courier New"]  {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
            Plot0.Set(EMA (Close, 25) [0]);
        }[/FONT]

But if I just modify it in this way to shift the indicator one bar, the indicator disappears from the chart:

[FONT="Courier New"]  {
            // Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
            // plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
            Plot0.Set(EMA (Close, 25) [1]);
        }
[/FONT]

Probably I didn't see an obvious mistake...
But please, could anybody give me a hint?

Best regards

Francisco

Turn on the output window.

Tools->Output window

You should have an error there for the last statement:

Plot0.Set(EMA (Close, 25) [1]);
