new column Market Analyzer

[explorer101]

Hello, as i add new columns to MA based on indicator data ie the plot values. is there any feature request to display the 'bars ago' value. Ie so is not just the current bar value be it on bar close or on every tick etc ? i could create an indicator to offset the value if i want to see X bars ago and supply a parameter i guess and then set in the plot value for the 0 ie current value ?
It seems to me this would be useful to know given this exists in strategy builder comparing offsets or bars ago values?
thanks

Hello explorer101,

You are wanting to display the value from a previous bar by setting a Bars ago property for an Indicator added to the Market Analyzer, is this correct?

I am not seeing there is an existing feature request for this, but I am happy to submit one on your behalf.
Once I have a tracking ID I'll post in this thread for future reference.

You could alter an indicator and use two series. The first series would have the actual stored value saved as the bar updates, the second series (which can be a plot) would be set to the value of n bars ago of the first series.

In the scope of the class

private Series<double> calculatedValues;

[XmlIgnore()]
public Series<double> MyPlot
{
    get { return Values[0]; }
}

[NinjaScriptProperty]
public int BarsAgo
{ get; set; }

In OnStateChange():

if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
    AddPlot(Brushes.Blue, "MyPlot");
    BarsAgo = 3;
}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
    calculatedValues = new Series<double>(this);
}

In OnBarUpdate():

calculatedValues[0] = High[0] - Low[0];
MyPlot[0] = calculatedValues[BarsAgo];

Thanks chelsea - that was my idea to alter the indicator or have another version for MA. I wonder still if it would be useful if possible for users who dont know ninjascript to have this bars ago offset option (as in strategy builder) without needing to code this. That is if this is possible ?
In the meantime ill follow your suggestion which is what i was thinking on, just wondered if something was in the works
