How do I make an MA indicator out of multiple instruments' volume actions???

[OathMark1]

What I want is to combine all of the volumes of major indices and commodities in to various combinations that can be plotted on a chart. How do I pull all of that data together, and sort it into various indicators.

Hello OathMark1,

Thanks for your post.

To broadly answer your question, "How do I make an MA indicator out of multiple instruments' volume actions":

1) You would create an indicator with a moving average output.
2) The inputs to the indicator would be adding all of the instruments to be used which would create a multi series indicator.
3) You could then access the volume data of each instrument
4) Perform your volume math to determine the moving average value.
5) Plot the output of the moving average plot.
