All in same indicator or many indicator

[bukkan]

Hi,
i want to plot say 3 moving averages. now i can do it in 2 ways:

1. plot 3 different SMA on top of each other with different parameters

2. build a single indicator with 3 plots in it, each plotting the different SMA's.

Now which is the best way to do things. this is particularly true if the indicator consists of a couple of hundred lines of code, we can have some serious resource issues.

hope i am clear and do not sound too foolish. i am new to NT

thanks in advance

Hi Bukkan,

Thank you for your post.

While we normally don't do this, as part of my skill building and training, I have created an indicator that allows the plotting of multiple SMA's.

Thanks Tim,
but i dont need the indicator, i just need to know which is more efficient:

Coding the 3 SMA in a single indicator will be more efficient than

Plotting 3 SMA in 3 different indicator.


things can be pretty rough when the indicator is just not a simple SMA but few couple of hundred lines of code.

hope i am able to put my point.

Hi Bukkan,

Compiling them in to the same indicator would be best.
