Hi gang, I am trying to add a moving average to this study, if the close is above, then green. Can anyone help me please? I did add a moving average to it, but I don't think I understand enough to make it work. Thank you in advance Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-04-15 20:17:07

You already have a MA in your code: sc.MovingAverage(sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST], sc.Subgraph[0], MOVAVGTYPE_SIMPLE, 50); the input is: sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST] the output is: sc.Subgraph[0] Watch out you don't use a sc.Subgraph[0] again, use sc.Subgraph[1] etc You now have 2 sc.Subgraph[0] and that doesn't work.

Hi ehlaban, I changed the subgraph to 1 on the float line, also I looked at the link as I was writing the code, but I do not understand how I just reference the MA, as I do not want to display it on the chart. Am I leaving out any code from the link? I tried to compile and get this error. -- Starting build of Custom Studies Source files: Seb_Code_Test.cpp. -- 10:42:25 "C:\SierraChart\CPPCompiler\bin\g++.exe" "C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\Seb_Code_Test.cpp" -march=i686 -mtune=i686 -O2 -shared -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -s -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -o "C:\SierraChart\Data\Seb_Code_Test.dll" C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\Seb_Code_Test.cpp: In function 'void scsf_Seb_Rising_test(SCStudyInterfaceRef)': C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\Seb_Code_Test.cpp:53:2: error: expected ')' before '{' token { ^ C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\Seb_Code_Test.cpp:67:1: error: expected primary-expression before '}' token } ^ C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\Seb_Code_Test.cpp:67:1: error: expected ';' before '}' token -- End of Build -- 10:42:26 any help would be greatly appreciated Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-04-16 09:49:44

It's totally unclear what you want to do. Why do you need a MA and what do you want to display on your chart? Here's a little better version.

Hi ehlaban, Thank you for your reply, what I am trying to do is this, if a certain criteria is met, and it is above a moving average, then I want to generate a signal to evaluate. n getting this right, I want a create a template to develop further. I am looking to display the array signal onto the chart. Thank you.

Hey ehlaban, I cannot thank you enough, I would have struggled through that. I hope to learn for the future, but no examples on the board, I did try to find other cpp files, but could not. Regards S
