I am a new user and need help getting started with ACSIL. Specifically, I am trying to get autotradeexample1.cpp to work with two SMAs, 20 and 50 periods. Is there a code example for this?

Regards,
Gopal

Yes, that's the page I have a question about.

How do I make line1ref and line2ref point to the 20 SMA and 50 SMA? Do I need to manually add them to the chart and then add this study?

Regards,
Gopal



// using the line1Ref and line2Ref input variables, retrieve the subgraph arrays into line1,
  // line2 arrays respectively
  SCFloatArray line1;
  sc.GetStudyArrayUsingID(line1Ref.GetStudyID(), line1Ref.GetSubgraphIndex(), line1);

  SCFloatArray line2;
  sc.GetStudyArrayUsingID(line2Ref.GetStudyID(), line2Ref.GetSubgraphIndex(), line2);

Yes, add those Moving Average-Simple studies to the chart and in the automated trading system study you need to set the Line1 and Line2 Inputs in the Study Settings window to refer to those moving average studies.
