Add SMA to custom indicator the easy way

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

I am trying to add a SMA to a custom indicator and have found a few posts that cover some of what I need but I am having trouble applying the methods to my indciator.

I did however come across an easer way...the suggestion to add indicator SMA to chart and then use my indicator as the input series which I did but I would suspect that because it plots on the price chart and requires real time data the first print is way off how could I fix this problem?

Regards,

Hello suprsnipes,
Please refer to this YouTube video which demonstrates how to apply an indicator over another indicator.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Thank you for you response.I watched the short video covers the basics.

Because the custom indicator plots on the price chart and has no historical data the first plot of the SMA is way off (please see screenshot attached) and takes a few bars to get aligned correctly. How can I fix this?
