Moving Average Type

  Hi

  I’m trying to code the moving average indicator where I can then select the different type e.g. simple = 0, exponential = 1, etc. Why does it not work for type 7 = Zero Lag Exponential and type 8 = Hull? I have included variables a = Integer and b = MA type so that you can change these variables once indicator added to chart without having to modify the code.

  Gives error as below:

  Error in the indicator: MA TYPE (1 7)

  Define the type of moving average

  What am I doing wrong please?

  Thanks

  Sachin

   

  period = a type = b MAHigh=Average[period,type](high) MALow=Average[period,type](low) return MAHIGH as "High", MALow as "Low"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  period = a type = b   MAHigh=Average[period,type](high) MALow=Average[period,type](low)   return MAHIGH as "High", MALow as "Low"

  v10.3 allows 0-6, v11 should allow up to 8 (I am not sure, though).

  You can always hard code the missing indicators into your indicator.

  The code for most popular average calculations can be found in this indicator.

  For info @sulimaster

  Whenever I use Indicator Type 7 or 8 in a coded strategy it always works for me.

  But I just tried in a stand alone Indicator (as above) and it gave me the error message etc.

  ProBuilder and ProOrder use different engines hence there are sometimes differences to be found.
