Adjusting EMA not only at State == State.DataLoaded

[debleded]

Hi everybody,

is it possible to adjust the EMA not only at the beginning of the programm?
If i attach an EMA to a ninjascript strategy i´ll get following code:

else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
EMA1 = EMA(Close, Convert.ToInt32(EMAValue);
}

So if i´ve understood this right, this piece of code will be only once called (at the beginning of the programm).

Is there a possibility to change the value of the EMA while the programm is running?

Hello debleded,

Thanks for your post.

That is correct. State.DataLoaded is called only once after all data series have been loaded.

See this help guide for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tatechange.htm

You could change the value of the EMA in your script by assigning a different value for your EMA variable in OnBarUpdate().

For example, if you would like to set the EMA to calculate using a period of 5 then in OnBarUpdate() you could call something like EMA1 = EMA(Close, 5);. Now EMA1 is calculated with a period of 5 instead of the initial period that was assigned to it.

Let us know if we may further assist.

Thank you for the answer!
This makes absolute sense.

So i just define EMA1 new in the OnBarUpdate() Method.
