How to add first Indicator's data to my Moving Average?

Hi,

I was wondering if someone can help a newbie out here.


Basically what I would like to do is attach my MA to first Indicator's data which is MACD and cannot figure out how to do this the sample code I am using is as follow.


double MacdCurrent=iMACD(NULL,0,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,0); //MACD


double EMA5c = iMA(NULL,TimeFrame,5,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,MacdCurrent);//First MA attaching to MACD

double EMA20c = iMA(NULL,TimeFrame,20,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,MacdCurrent); //Second MA attaching to MACD



Thank you.

 

It sounds to me like you want to use a MA value as input to the MACD rather than, say, PRICE_CLOSE.

I would suggest looking at MACD.mq4 that comes with MT4 (if yours doesn't, then tell us & I'm sure someone can post a version)

Then you'll see how iMA and iMAOnArrray are used. Switch the iMA on bar price (e.g. PRICE_CLOSE) to iMAOnArray and use your own input value by, say, setting up a MA indicator & using that buffer.
