Moving Average of a Indicator

[buderim]

Hi,

I am sorry to bother you all with such a silly question.

I am trying to plot the moving average of CCI in the CCI window, In Metatrader4 I just drag and drop the MA into the CCI window and it works.

Is there anyway I can do this in NT6 ?

Thanks
Ian

Hi buderim,

You can do this in NT6 by programming a very simple custom indicator. What you want to do in the custom indicator is call the CCI indicator within the SMA indicator. This can be done with the following code:

double smaCCI = SMA(CCI(14), 20)[0];

Please see attached sample for further reference on how to actually plot the values.

To install the indicator:
1) Download file
2) Open NinjaTrader
3) File->Utilities->Import NinjaScript
4) Select file

Hi Josh,

Thanks for that ,I didnt realise it was that simple !!

I will have a look at it.

Many Thanks

Here's one I wrote a while back that has two plots... CCI and CCI with HMA averaging. This could easily be adjusted to do SMA averaging if you want an indicator with both plots. I liked the HMA better because it has less lag than an SMA.

Thanks KBJ,

I will try this version as well.

Wilders MA of an indicator

Can anyone help me with this? The SMA file works great, but I find it is too slow for good signals, and the Hull MA is too fast. I would like to use a Wilders MA of the CCI, which should end up somewhere between the 2. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

If you post the code or reference documentation, someone may be kind enough to contribute.

From what I've found on the web, the Wilder MA is calculated by:

WilderMA = EMA(2*WilderPeriod-1);

So, to do a WilderMA on a CCI(14), you have:

int WilderPeriod = 10;
double WilderMAonCCI = EMA(CCI(14),(2*WilderPeriod-1))[0];

hello
How do you have condition builder to look for condition when the cci cross above or below the MA,
Thanks,

I have the above fomula but it does not plot the CCI and EMA(smoothing) seperatlely when i want to write cross over conditions. in the condition winodw..any idea

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Can you clarify -

Do you want to know...

- How to create a condition in the condition builder that checks for a cross condition of CCI over an EMA of CCI

or

- How to do this programatically? If the latter -

if (CrossAbove(CCI(14), EMA(CCI(14), 14), 1))
// Do something....

Yes, that is correct
when building a condition using the wizard ,, if the indicator has more then one LINE then it it will have a section for Plot drop down with names of the line that you want tested for example:
macd indicator has
plot drop down with MACD,AVE, and DIFF to test against each other.
I want to have the CCI test when it crosses above or below cci EMA avrage. I tried to paste this
if (CrossAbove(CCI(14), EMA(CCI(14), 14), 1))
in the condition builder it it will not paste.
what is worng with the programing i sent you earlier it will not show the +plot in the wizard condition builder..
Thanks much...

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

In the Condition Builder ....

- On left side, select CCI indicator
- In middle select "CrossAbove"
- On right side select EMA and in the right lower section, click to the right of "Input series" and press the "..." button that shows up, then select CCI

Thanks,
But what you are suggesting will not plot the ema ON cci,
I did what you said and the ema is ploted on the price chart Not cci
I have attached the pics
I am very surprised that this feature is not in the chart package wizard
we should be able to plot indicator on indicator very easily.
with out being a programmer.
in the attached pic the bottom indicator is the cci with ema plotted but when i want to
have the condition cci crossing its own ema i can Not do it in the condition builder b/c the the plot is not there,as i metioned in the MACD example yesterday..
If I send you the programing code on the bottom indicator that has ema ploted on cci could anyone tell why it will not allow me to build cross over conditions?
Thanks,
