Compare EMA of price with EMA of "price´s" cum delta

[emuns]

Hello,

does anybody can help me, how can I compare e.g. e-mini NQ´s EMA with EMA of NQ´s cumulative delta? Of course, how to write it as a script...

Thank you

Hello emuns,

Thank you for your post.

Here's an example of an indicator that would compare the EMA of an instrument to the EMA of that instrument's cumulative delta:

        private EMA EMA1;
        private OrderFlowCumulativeDelta OrderFlowCumulativeDelta1;
        private EMA EMA2;

        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description                                    = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
                Name                                        = "EMADelta";
                Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
                IsOverlay                                    = false;
                DisplayInDataBox                            = true;
                DrawOnPricePanel                            = true;
                DrawHorizontalGridLines                        = true;
                DrawVerticalGridLines                        = true;
                PaintPriceMarkers                            = true;
                ScaleJustification                            = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
                //Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event.
                //See Help Guide for additional information.
                IsSuspendedWhileInactive                    = true;
                EMA1Period                    = 10;
                AddPlot(Brushes.OrangeRed, "EMA1");
                AddPlot(Brushes.DarkTurquoise, "EMACumDelta");
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
                // A 1 tick data series must be added to the OnStateChange() as the OF Cumulative Delta indicator runs off of tick data
                 AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);
            }
            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                EMA1                = EMA(Close, EMA1Period);
                OrderFlowCumulativeDelta1                = OrderFlowCumulativeDelta(Close, NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.CumulativeDeltaType.BidAsk, NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.CumulativeDeltaPeriod.Session, 0);
                EMA2                = EMA(OrderFlowCumulativeDelta1.DeltaClose, EMA1Period);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            if (BarsInProgress != 0)
                return;

            if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
            return;

            if (BarsInProgress == 0)
            {
                if (EMA1[0] > EMA2[0])
                {
                }
            }
            else if (BarsInProgress == 1)
            {
                // We have to update the secondary series of the cached indicator to make sure the values we get in BarsInProgress == 0 are in sync
                OrderFlowCumulativeDelta(BarsArray[0], CumulativeDeltaType.BidAsk, CumulativeDeltaPeriod.Session, 0).Update(OrderFlowCumulativeDelta(BarsArray[0], CumulativeDeltaType.BidAsk, CumulativeDeltaPeriod.Session, 0).BarsArray[1].Count - 1, 1);
            }

        }

        #region Properties
        [NinjaScriptProperty]
        [Range(1, int.MaxValue)]
        [Display(Name="EMA1Period", Description="EMA Period", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]
        public int EMA1Period
        { get; set; }

Hello Kate,

thank you very much for your help. I just wonder why you compare "close" and "open" in your script...? I mean this part:

EMA1 = EMA(Close, EMA1Period);
OrderFlowCumulativeDelta1 = OrderFlowCumulativeDelta(Close, NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.CumulativeDelta Type.BidAsk, NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.CumulativeDelta Period.Session, 0);
EMA2 = EMA(OrderFlowCumulativeDelta1.DeltaOpen, EMA1Period);

Thank you again,
emuns

Hello emuns,

Thank you for your reply.

That was a typo on my part, should be .DeltaClose. I've updated my original reply.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
