setting indicator settings in secondary series

[tkaboris]

Hi am i doing it right to set EMA settings for secondary series?
When i print slowHTFEMA, its not printing correct value according to the secondary added series...
I keep SlowHTFEMAPeriod in onstatechange

else if (BarsInProgress == 2)
slowHTFEMA = EMA(SlowHTFEMAPeriod);
fastHTFEMA = EMA(FastHTFEMAPeriod);
baseHTFEMA = EMA(BaseHTFEMAPeriod)

if (baseHTFEMA[1] < slowHTFEMA[1]
{
go long
}

Hello tkaboris,

Thank you for your post.

The default input for an indicator is the BarsInProgress, so your condition that checks if BarsInProgress = 2 should mean that the slowHTFEMA, fastHTFEMA, and baseHTFEMA are set to the second added data series. The primary series would be BarsInProgress 0, the first added series would be BarsInProgress 1, and the second added series would be BarsInProgress 2.

Otherwise, you could consider using the EMA syntax that allows you to specific the input series:
EMA(ISeries<double> input, int period)

For example:
slowHTFEMA = EMA(BarsArray[2], SlowHTFEMAPeriod);
