How do I add 20 perior EMA of 5 min chart to a 14 tick Renko chart

[wtdtrader]

I am using a 14 tick renko chart but want to add a 20 period EMA based on the 5 min chart. Is there a way to do this?

Hello wtdtrader,
Thanks for your post.

Are you trying to plot the EMA or just make calculations based on it?

I plan to do both

All you need to do is add the series and then plot it. The value you pass in to the plot can be used for your other calculations as well. Something like the following snippet would accomplish this.

private EMA myEMA;
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
	if (State == State.SetDefaults)
	{		
		AddPlot(Brushes.Yellow, "myEMA");
	}
	else if (State == State.Configure)
	{	
		AddDataSeries("ES 09-18",BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5);
	}
	else if(State==State.DataLoaded)
	{
		myEMA = EMA(BarsArray[1],20);
	}
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
	if (BarsInProgress==1 && CurrentBars[1]<20)return;	
	Value[0] = myEMA[0];
}

I am also including the relevant help guide documents for the above snippet.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry, I am using Ninja 7, could you provide the code for that and the reference articles.
Thanks!

Sorry about that. This would be done differently with NT7. Check out the following reference sample that demonstrates a nice workaround on how to plot from a strategy in NT7.

EDIT: Mistake

Can you please send me a snippet of code to accomplish this? Thank you!

The help guide article "Plotting with a NinjaScript Strategy" demonstrates this. Please download the sample script from that page.
