I am trying to duplicate this indicator in SierraCharts. I have succeeded doing it in NinjaTrader 8 and I have a question. I need to calculate the EMA for nPeriods of the Highest high and Lowest low for the period. The pseudo code is as follows: high = highest high of nPeriods low = lowest low of nPeriods HLVol = (EMA(high-low, nPeriod)/EMA(Close, nPeriods))*100. How do I call the moving average function using high-low value for nPeriods? Thanks |

You first have to create a study of the High-Low to then use the EMA on it. To do this, use the Study Subgraphs Subtract study. Refer to the documentation here: Highest High/Lowest Low Over N Bars Study Subgraphs Subtract/Difference Additionally, you will eventually be dividing the two EMAs, therefore you would need the Study Subgraphs Divide study, which is documented here: Study Subgraphs Divide/Ratio For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-03-19 17:56:07
