Gathering SMA datapoints

[brucelevy]

Hi I would like to know how I can go about gathering SMA data points for the close of each bar. I would like to match the SMA data points to closing prices (in excel)...

I assume I would need to log data with a chart open, print the closing price and sma price to the output window and copy the info?

Is there a way to get his data without real time loggin?

Thank you

Hello brucelevy,

You can call the SMA indicator in a NinjaScript indicator or strategy.

This will contain a price of the SMA for each bar on the chart.

For example:
if (CurrentBar > 5)
{
Print(SMA(14)[5]);
}

This would print the SMA value from 5 bars ago.

Below if a public link to the help guide.

You will need a source of data if you want this on a chart, printed to the output window, or writing data to a file.

Below is a link to post about connecting for data.
