number of periods on an indicator

[frankduc]

Hello,

I created an indicator a cumulative moving average.

Does this syntax can work?

double value = CWMA(ChartBars.GetBarIdxByX(chartControl, cursorPointX))[0];

Just want my cwma to appear and modify in the chart when i click on the chart anywhere.

Error say CWMA dont exist in that context. I try to call my CWMA in another indicator.

TY

Hello frankduc,

That does not look like valid code. From the description I am not certain what you are asking to do. If you can provide a more accurate description of what you are trying to do that may help.

Ok i have an indicator that creates a moving average, its name in the list is CMA01

I am using another indicator i created and want my moving average the CMA01 to appear everytime i click on the chart at a different position.

So what i did is:

private CMA01 value;

than:

value = CMA01(ChartBars.GetBarIdxByX(chartControl, cursorPointX));

but the line of the CMA01 wont show up. No error message.
Print it return:

CWMA(ES 03-23 (400 Volume),650)

Hello frankduc,

If you are not sure what the syntax would be for your custom indicator you can use the strategy builder to generate the code to use it.

[frankduc]

value = CMA01(ChartBars.GetBarIdxByX(chartControl, cursorPointX));

return:

CWMA(ES 03-23 (400 Volume),650)

i only want to pass the value of Bars ago we get from the DataBox.

Hello frankduc,

GetBarIdxByX returns an index of a bar based on a X pixel location, that is not a BarsAgo. The error you were seeing from post 1 means that the indicators name is wrong. If you don't know what syntax your indicator needs you can use the builder to generate it.
