New to NT. Want to re-create SMR indicator lines

[Dmoss3]

Hey, Im new to NinjaTrader and I want to be able to re-create SMR charts two indicator lines and I have no clue how to do that. The fast line is basically a SMA of closing price of the last 3 days - the SMA of closing price of the last 10 days. The slower line is a SMA 14 of the fast line. That's about it. Some help on this would be appreciated!

Hello David,

Calling SMA's with different amounts of historical data would be very complicated. Indicators when called, use the same amount of historical data as is loaded on the chart.

It would be simple to call these using different periods. This would change the amount of bars used in the SMA calculation but the indicator will still process all of the historical data loaded on the chart and doesn't cause the indicator to ignore some of the historical data.

For example
Print(SMA(3)[0] - SMA(10)[0]);

To have different amounts of historical data loaded, this would have to be achieved by modifying the SMA to have a value that limits the number of days that will be processed.

It would be possible to tell the indicator not to start processing until after a certain amount of days in historical data with custom code.
