Hi guys,
I am trying to make a script that consists of 2 original SMA indicators , I tried so many ways to duplicate the original but it didn't work out for me..

I would highly appreciate it if someone can tell me how to make a double or triple version of the original SMA.

one more thing: Can I set the value of one SMA to CalculateOnBarClose = false, and the other one to CalculateOnBarClose = true !!!

Thanks...

Code
                            
#init

private double dsma;

#onbarupdate
dsma SMA(SMA(Close20), 100); 
Will give you a double sma.

thank you mike,
but if i set the previous code, how will i be able to customize each plots characteristics, for example if i wanna add a condition that changes the 20SMA color when it crosses above the 100SMA !!

if both SMAs has one defined variable which is private double dsma, how will i be able to change each SMA's separately ? what's the unique definition for the 20SMA ? and whats is for the 100SMA ?

thanks in advance

Type-o in my code. I haven't used NT in 18 months, give me a small break Add [0] to end to reference DataSeries.

 
Code
                            
dsma SMA(SMA(Close20), 100)[0];

Try watching @sam028's basic intro webinar on NT programming which covers multi color plots:


And/or @shodson's NT webinar which gives you the basic building blocks of C#:


Or look at any one of the hundreds of indicators on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) that have multicolor plots and look at the code and learn. Try also buying some C# books to get you started.
