Macd with fast MA offset ?

[T2020]

Just wondering if something like this will work . So far these 2 lines don't
work . thx

fastEma.Set(LinReg(Input, Fast)[2]);

slowEma.Set(SMA(Input, Slow)[0]);

Hi there, are there any errors in the logs (right-most tab of Control Center)? Those two lines should work.

Error :

8/13/2009 8:17:17 AM Default Error on calling the 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'MyMacdLregSMA2' on bar 0: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

Not quite sure what that means ... Was trying on range chart .

On the first bar (bar 0), when you set this: fastEma.Set(LinReg(Input, Fast)[2]), the error you posted will occur because there is not enough data in the LinReg DataSeries. This tip applies here as well.

A solution would be to place this at the very beginning of OnBarUpdate():

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// this NEEDS to be first
if (CurrentBar < 3)
    return;
}

The above code will not process any code inside OnBarUpdate() if there are less than 3 bars on the chart, thus making sure you have enough data.

Still problems . Maybe this will help ?

These are now different problems. The highlighted portions of the attached picture are not necessary.

Seems to be getting more complicated . ?

[NinjaTrader_Austin]

T2020, every bracket needs to have a "buddy" bracket. By that, I mean every { needs a }. In your attached picture, OnBarUpdate() has an opening bracket and two closing brackets. Thus, there is an imbalance and you will get compile errors.

If you remove the bracket below the Diff.Set line, you should be fine.

I just noticed that .
Thanks again .

Here's the same indicator with an offset added to the slow line . It doesn't
plot ,so maybe this isn't going to work ???

Those brackets you are highlighting should not be there.

Still doesn't plot ???

You need to remove the brackets and then check your Control Center logs for errors.

what exactly does this mean ?

Please change if (CurrentBar < 3) to be less than 4.
