    How do I get 'barsAgo" info for a variable I create?


    ((EMA(
    20)[0] - EMA(20)[3]) / (EMA(20)[0])) gives me a ROC of a EMA20. How do I get that value from a preceding bar? If I try to apply the 'barsAgo' to the formula I get the following error:

    Cannot apply indexing with[] to an expression of type 'double'.

    Creating a variable to hold the above formula gives the same error.

    Can I compile a custom indicator using the formula and then reference it with a 'barsAgo'?

    Two things -

    If you want to store user generated calculations, create a variable of type DataSeries. See documentation on this class. It would look something like:


    private DataSeries myRoc = null;

    protected override void Initialize()
    {
    myRoc = new DataSeries(this);
    }

    protected override void OnBarUpdate()
    {
    myRoc.Set(calculatedValue);
    Print("Current myRoc value is: " + myRoc[0]);
    }
    or you could do something like the following instead:

    protected override void OnBarUpdate()
    {
    Print("ROC of EMA20 is: " + ROC(EMA(20), periodValue, smoothValue)[0]);
    }
