Default price type

[scottyheist]

Here is an example for how to use to SMA function:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?moving_average___simple_sma.htm

Specifically, the code provided is:

// Prints the current value of a 20 period SMA using default price type
double value = SMA(20)[0];
Print("The current SMA value is " + value.ToString());

// Prints the current value of a 20 period SMA using high price type
double value = SMA(High, 20)[0];
Print("The current SMA value is " + value.ToString());

Is the 'default price type' mentioned above just the Close price? Is it possible to force it to be Close by writing

double value = SMA(Close, 20)[0];

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums here, you are correct in understanding. If nothing specified it would use the Close, however you could definitely pass in directly as well to force it.
