Hi, Im trying code daily 5-day-SMA on 5-minute chart, but it doesnt work, it doesnt show anything on 5minChart
could anybody help me please?

Log:
28.1.2014 16:18 Default Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'DenniSMA' on bar 1: You are accessing an index with a value that is invalid since its out of range. I.E. accessing a series [barsAgo] with a value of 5 when there are only 4 bars on the chart.

Code:

#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
// User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
#endregion

/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Day, 1);
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
Overlay = true;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()

{ if(CurrentBar < 1)
return;


// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
Plot0.Set(SMA(Closes[1], 5)[0]);
}

Do you have enough days back loaded on your base dataseries. You will need several days back to load.

50 days back

There is an easier way than writing an indicator to do this. Here is what i did for the chart below.

1) Created new chart with 50 days of 5 minute data.
2) Added another data series, daily, 50 days
3) for the daily data series change the following: (see picture)
A) Set the type to "line on close"
B) Set the color to "transparent"
C) Set the panel to panel #1 (important!!)
D) Turn off the "Plot executions"
E) hit Okay, You will now have a chart showing only the 5 minute data (see picture)

4) open the indicators, select SMA. In the indicator panel change the input series to the daily data series. (See picture)

You now have an sma(5) from daily bars showing on a 5 minute data chart.

Hope this helps.

Programmatically speaking, you need to wait for 5 daily bars to process before you can get the SMA(5) to work. So you might change your

if (CurrentBar <1)

to

if CurrentBars[1] < 5) return ;

CurrentBars[1] is the way to refer to the added data series.

Hope that helps
