adding together different indicators

[Sparkyboy]

Apologies if this has been asked before.

How can I create an indicator that is the sum of other indicators of other data series?

e.g new indicator = MA (data series 1) + MA (data series 2).....MA (data series n)

Thanks.

Hello SparkyBoy,

You may do this by using the BarsArray object when using a Multiseries script for example:


protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Sum"));

Add("MSFT",PeriodType.Day,1); //BarsArray 1
Add("GOOG",PeriodType.Day,1); //BarsArray 2
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Check to make sure that you have enough data in all series
if (CurrentBars[0] <= 1 || CurrentBars[1] <= 1 || CurrentBars[2] <= 1)return;

if(BarsInProgress == 0)
Sum.Set(SMA(BarsArray[1],14)[0]+SMA(BarsArray[2],14)[0]);
}

Here is a link to our Help Guide that talk about Multiseries scripts in more detail that you may view.

Let me know if that will work for what you are looking for.
