Need little help with direct DoubleMA

June 30th, 2009, 07:30 AM

I am trying to create a strategy with a cross-over based on a doubleMA without the DMA indicator

if (CrossBelow(EMA(HMA(11),12),SMA(WMA(13),14),1) ) works

As I want to make the MAtype available in the strategy I wanted to use something like
if (CrossBelow(mA1Type(HMA(11),12),SMA(WMA(13),14),1) ) but that gives the following error
'NinjaTrader.Strategy.test2.mA1Type' is a 'field' but used like a 'method'

I did declare under
#region Variables:
private int mA1Period = 12;
private NinjaTrader.Indicator.DoubleMA_internal.DMAType mA1Type = NinjaTrader.Indicator.DoubleMA_internal.DMAType.EMA;

I then thought of making a new DataSeries line1 and a DataSeries line2 and use these in a crossover statement, but after trying different things got stuck again.

Would appreciate if one of you have a look at the test1.cs and get me going again.

Thanks Peter

i do not know, but the problem is the method CrossBelow(),CrossAbove()

bool IndicatorBase.CrossBelow(IDataSeries series 1,
IDataSeries series 2,
int lookBackPeriod)

IDataSeries is a Interface how describe the input (EMA type and Period)

the normal dataseries hold only the value of EMA type and Period. I think that is your problem.

What will you do??

7:54am wh: string ma = "EMA"; string period = "(19)"; string togehter = ma+period; so you can use enmus, cast and so on , but i do not know if it works but i think

WH thanks for the chat input will look at your String/MA suggestion tomorrow.

Peter,

If you want to take a look at complete functioning code other than the convoluted DoubleMA, check out Roonius' SuperTrend v2.1, it is a self-contained method of enumerating the MA's.
