ADXVMA strategy problem?

[Ninja B]

I'm using ADXVMA Period 2 in a strategy. It plots fine when used only as indicator but as soon as I try to use in an strategy it plots differently. The red line is the normal ADXVMA period 2 plot and the blue line is the strategy one that is off for some reason. Any help would be much appreciated.

Please post the code. Both indicator and strategy.

We will look into it and get back to you.

Any idea why it changes when used in a strategy?

Ninja B,

This is the solution. You should not make variable assignments in the Initialize() method.

Cut these lines from the Initalize() method:

WeightDX = ADXPeriod;
WeightDM = ADXPeriod;
WeightDI = ADXPeriod;
ChandeEMA = ADXPeriod;

Move them to the OnBarUpdate() method:

if (CurrentBar == 0)
{
     WeightDX = ADXPeriod;
     WeightDM = ADXPeriod;
     WeightDI = ADXPeriod;
     ChandeEMA = ADXPeriod;
}

Unfortunately I could not comment on how to use ADXVMA() since it is not our indicators. I suggest you print values for both and just look at it from a chart to see which one gives you the values you are after.
