RSI Indicator Script using Exponential Mov Avg

[timothyssmith]

Hi Everyone,

I was comparing the RSI indicator in Ninja Trader 8 with the RSI indicator for Thinkorswim. I noticed the plot outputs are different when comparing RSI for Ninja Trader with Thinkorswim. I have selected RSI using exponential moving average for Thinkorswim (it is more responsive for my style). The Ninja Trader seems to use Wilder's as the average or it uses a simple moving average. Can someone assist me in editing the script for RSI in Ninja Trader 8 so that it uses exponential moving average as is done in the Thinkorswim script.

Thank you.

Hello timothyssmith,

Our NinjaTrader staff would not be able to translate the code from another platform, but I may be able to assist with any specific questions or the equivalents of objects, like price series, if you decide to give this an attempt yourself.

This thread will remain open for any community members that would like to provide insight or port the code to NinjaTrader on your behalf.

To start, it may be helpful to post the specific code logic you are wanting to translate.

I am also providing a link to a forum post with helpful resources on getting started with NinjaScript and C#.

The system indicator RSI is locked for editing, but you can make a copy of this by opening the indicator in the NinjaScript Editor and then make a copy, and then modify the copy with your preferred logic. Right-click the code, select Save as to make a copy.
