plotting an EMA from added dataseries

[jfw215]

Hi, I'm trying to plot the EMA of an added dataseries, but it's not coming out correctly. Am I doing this correctly?

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
Overlay = false;

Add(PeriodType.Volume,anchorMultiplier);

}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.

try
{

if (BarsInProgress == 1)
{
Plot0.Set(EMA(Close,maLength)[0]);
//this should plot the MA of the larger chart???? doesn't work.

}
}
catch(Exception err) {Print(err.ToString());}

Hello jfw215,

You will have to use BarsArray and reference the added series through the bracket [ ] specified.

BarsArray[0] = The first series - the series the indicator or strategy is applied to.
BarsArray[1] = The second series.


Plot0.Set(EMA(BarsArray[1], maLength)[0]);

Hi Ryan,

I tried doing as you suggested. It's still not working. I've attached ths cs file for your review.

Thanks

Jimmy, please try plotting the BIP 1 MA value when you're in BIP 0, this should then work as you would expect.

Thanks Ryan,

I did as you instructed. The results still don't come up correctly. I've attached the updated cs file for your review.

Please try the attached on 1 min chart, it would then show you the 20 bar 5 Minute EMA on it.

Hi,
Another related question. How do I access the volume in added chart?

I tried using this line to store the volume of the the 2nd chart to a variable then accessing it but gives me 0.
if(BarsInProgress==1) myVol=Volume[0];
if(BarsInProgress==0) Print(myVol);

never mind figured it out Volumes!!! thanks.
