how do i change values in the RSI? specifically looking to change the 50 line to 0.
thank for any help with this!

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
  {
   if (CurrentBar == 0)
   {
    down.Set(0);
    up.Set(0);
    return;
   }
   down.Set(Math.Max(Input[1] - Input[0], 0));
   up.Set(Math.Max(Input[0] - Input[1], 0));
   if ((CurrentBar + 1) < Period) 
   {
    if ((CurrentBar + 1) == (Period - 1))
     Avg.Set(50);
    return;
   }
   if ((CurrentBar + 1) == Period) 
   {
    // First averages 
    avgDown.Set(SMA(down, Period)[0]);
    avgUp.Set(SMA(up, Period)[0]);
   }  
   else 
   {
    // Rest of averages are smoothed
    avgDown.Set((avgDown[1] * (Period - 1) + down[0]) / Period);
    avgUp.Set((avgUp[1] * (Period - 1) + up[0]) / Period);
   }
   double rs   = avgUp[0] / (avgDown[0] == 0 ? 1 : avgDown[0]);
   double rsi   = 100 - (100 / (1 + rs));
   double rsiAvg = (2.0 / (1 + Smooth)) * rsi + (1 - (2.0 / (1 + Smooth))) * Avg[1];
   Avg.Set(rsiAvg);
   Value.Set(rsi);
  }

In NT, the "Add(new Line" statement is what you want to change...and it's found in the Initialize() method.
It will look like this:

Code

            Add(new Line(System.Drawing.Color.DarkViolet, 30, "Lower"));
            Add(new Line(System.Drawing.Color.YellowGreen, 70, "Upper"));

Naturally, if you find one that has a "50", you'd either delete the line, or change the 50 to 0.

Does that mean that you are looking for an oscillator that oscillates around zero and has negative and positive values?

Or do you simply want to shift that line?

sorry for the confusion...

yes that is correct Fat Tails, i would like to replace the 50 line to 0 which would make positive and negative values.

hope that makes sense and thx!

Here you are.

hey fat tails. thank you!

could you take a look at the pic and tell me if there is a way to have the indicator you built on panel 3 match the indicator on panel 2 as far as the readings go?

it looks like yours is exactly one half of panel 2's reading.

thanks so much!

if you can figure out what the heck the dotted line is on panel one, that would be cool too. i was lucky enough to figure out that the solid line is a rsi

I have changed the indicator and divided its vertical scale by 2. You need to download it again.

The dotted line looks like a moving average, can you show more of the chart?

Just try different moving averages, start with EMA and SMA, it is nothing special.
