Found a CMA but does it work?

[frankduc]

I have found on the net a cumulative moving average script.
I wonder if it works and i wonder if i can install somehow that script on NT?
The thing is, its a .ts file! Whats that?

Here's the site:

and here's where the file is: (second on top)

Can i safely install that script on NT?

If not the formula in the script on first page seem right.

Anyone has an idea how i can modify an SMA to look like the CMA, modifying what and where in those lines?

CMA = totalSum(price)/barNumber()

thanks

frankduc, after looking at the links you provided, it appears this indicator is for the Think Or Swim platform. Regardless, I can give you a rough translation for the important line:

CMA = totalSum(price)/barNumber()

In NinjaScript:

CMA = SUM(Close, CurrentBar)/CurrentBar;

[frankduc]

Can we just replace the code in the VWMA by the one you provided?

I'm not sure what line should i change in the VWMA to get what i want?

CMA = SUM(Close, CurrentBar)/CurrentBar;

Its about the same code, the difference is instead of calculating the 14 periods, it cumulate each periods.

Calculating period 1, 2(the 2 last periods), 3 (the last 3 periods) etc, till 14.

I really need a course in C# programming.

thanks anyway



Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, "VWMA"));
Overlay = true;
PriceTypeSupported = true;

int numBars = Math.Min(CurrentBar, period);
double volPriceSum = 0;
double volSum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < numBars; i++)

volPriceSum += Input[i] * Volume[i];
volSum += Volume[i];
}

if (volSum <= double.Epsilon)
Value.Set(volPriceSum);
else
Value.Set(volPriceSum / volSum);
}

I have a feeling it would be easier to create a brand new indicator do to this, but if you want to paste it into another indicator this should do the trick:

cant say what i did wrong

I just copy/paste the WVMA and then erased calculation lines to replace by the line you provided but it didnt work.

As i said before but this time without the F... word, cause they seem fusy about it, i have to find a programmer to do the job.

frankduc,

It may be worthwhile to consider one of these 3rd party NinjaScript Consultants: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm

[frankduc]

a lot of bull.....

No offense but some of those people or cies are selling indicators that already exist for free on the net: Heiken-Ashi smoothed $75 USD

Most of them are scams with indicators with no value.

I can have a programmer for 75$ per/hour here in Montreal. What i need takes no more than 3 hours to program for a good analyst.

I'm looking for any good programmer under that price.

Why people are using indicators that do sometimes the same thing. They are most of them base on stochastic anyway.

Its so hard to find people to rely on who will do the job right without bugs.

Thanks to Austin anyway for is efforts.
