modifying an indicator with an indicator

[Trader.Jon]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple, I think ... just my first time so please be kind ... already trying for 2 hours
Could not find a resolution after searching ... and I think I am following the F1 format correctly ...

The following double works in the strategy,
b1_EMD2_Upper[0] = EMDT(BarsArray[1],iEMD2delta,iEMD2fraction,iEMD2period).UpperBand[0];

and now I want a 5 period CMO of that but none of the following is accepted (and yes, I need that 'upperband')
//
b1_cEMD66_upper[0] = (CMO(EMDT(BarsArray[1],0.66,0.66,14).UpperBand[0]), 5);
b1_cEMD66_upper[0] = (CMO(EMDT(BarsArray[1],0.66,0.66,14).UpperBand), 5);
b1_cEMD66_upper[0] = (CMO(b1_EMD2_Upper[0], 5));
b1_cEMD66_upper[0] = (CMO(b1_EMD2_Upper, 5));


Thanks very much in advance,
Jon

In order to use its value as input for other indicators and methods, you will have to turn that double into a dataSeries.

A tutorial on custom DataSeries is available here.

Ryan,

Thanks ... I was hoping to not have to do that

so that would be MyEMDu = b1_EMD2_Upper[0] ??
or is this better ??
MyEMDu = EMDT(BarsArray[1],iEMD2delta,iEMD2fraction,iEMD2period).UpperBand[0]; ??

and then (CMO(MyEMDu, 5)

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

You're welcome. It should be pretty straight-forward.

 
In variables region:
private DataSeries MyEMDu;
 
Initialize():
MyEMDu= new DataSeries(this);
 
OnBarUpdate():
MyEMDu.Set(EMDT(BarsArray[1], iEMD2delta, iEMD2fraction, iEMD2period).UpperBand[0]);

You can then pass this series (myEMDu) as input for anything that's looking for IDataSeries

Ryan,
Sorry for my illogical attempts ... but I cant get this working with either a double or a dataseries !!

this is accepted:
EMDT66u.Set(EMDT(BarsArray[1],0.66,0.66,14).UpperBand[0]);

But either of these gives an error on trying to convert CMO to a double::

b1_cEMD66_upper[0] = (CMO(EMDT66u, 5));
b1_cEMD66_upper.Set(CMO(EMDT66u (5)));
b1_cEMD66_upper.Set(CMO(EMDT66u, 5));

Thanks very much in advance for your patience,
Jon

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

The set method needs a double value, which you can get from a data series by applying an index [ ] to the series.

As long as b1_cEMD66_upper is a data series, the following should compile:

b1_cEMD66_upper.Set(CMO(EMDT66u, 5)[0]);

Ryan,

It is, and it did ... THANKS MUCHO !!

Editing NT 7 Built-in Indicator : MAEnvelopes

Hi NinjaTrader_RyanM,

I have NT7.0.0.23 trial. My system is window XP Professional.

Could you help me with coding to edit an NT7.0.0.23 built-in indicator - MAEnvelope?.

II want to add on extra bands at top and bottom. But, can not complie. Please see the three attachments.TIA

Best,

cucuclock

My guess is that your compile error has something to do with modifying a default indicator? Try renaming it first and compile, and then make changes
