Moving Average Accumulation Distribution line is above or below EMA?

ChrisTourDuMonde · 2020-03-25T09:39:33+00:00

Hello, It s probably super simple but i can’t make it so .. Do you know how i could test if the accumulation distribution line is above or below an Exponential moving average ? Thanks myAD = AccumDistr(open) EMA150 = exponentialaverage[150][myAD] if myAD > EMA150 then drawvline(barindex) coloured(0,255,0) else drawvline(barindex) coloured(255,0,0) endif return

```
myAD = AccumDistr(open)

EMA150 = exponentialaverage[150][myAD]

if myAD > EMA150 then

drawvline(barindex) coloured(0,255,0)

else

drawvline(barindex) coloured(255,0,0)

endif

return
```

You might need to ensure that you have enough bars to do the first average calculation. Often this is an issue why indicators do not display. Not tested – just a guess.
```
if barindex >= 150 then
myAD = AccumDistr(open)
EMA150 = exponentialaverage[150][myAD]

if myAD > EMA150 then
drawvline(barindex) coloured(0,255,0)
else
drawvline(barindex) coloured(255,0,0)
endif
endif

return
```

Thanks for the Reply,

Unfortunately i run in the same error :

“Error in the indicator ”

“A positive integer field is expected with myAD”

You used brackets for the data serie in your EMA instruction while it needs parenthesis:
```
EMA150 = exponentialaverage[150](myAD)
```

That key bit of information might have been quite useful in your first post!
