3 exact same strategies but different SMA???

[sidlercom80]

Hi, for testing, I have loaded a strategy with an SMA 20/50 in three separate windows. i have added a second data series because i need it later. how can i calculate and display the SMA only on the first data series?

AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);

smaFast = SMA(20);
smaSlow = SMA(50);
smaFast.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Goldenrod;
smaSlow.Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.SeaGreen;
AddChartIndicator(smaFast);
AddChartIndicator(smaSlow);

Hello sidlercom80,

Thanks for your post.

I see that you have added a 1 tick series for something else later.

I see that you have added two SMAs and are displaying them in the chart with AddChartIndicator().

By default, the SMA would be based on the chart bars series (first data series).

Did you have another dataseries?

I'm not sure I understand what your question is, can you be specific?.

Hi _PaulH, thanks for your answer. the two sma lines are both examples. to me it looks as if the sma lines are calculated arbitrarily and without logical on the two data series. if i restart the 3 strategies it may be that other values of the lines are displayed, see image:



I have also made a short video

OnBarUpdate only states:

if (BarsInProgress == 1)
   return;

Hello sidlercom80,

Thanks for your reply and video.

I replicated your code (without the BIP=1) and here they all look the same and have the same values. (I did change the time scaling to try and distort). Can you create 3 new charts without any other indicator or any other templates applied and see if you can replicate them? I'll attach what I used as well so you can test with that.
