Hi, it is possible to set the source of a simple moving average on a chart to the source of an rsi indicator. This then shows the moving average in the RSI window. However, the problem i'm having is being able to do this in code.

The SimpleMovingAverage requires a DataSeries source and I can't seem to be able to get the dataseries of the RSI.

Dear Trader,

Could you please explain your issue in more detail? 

In the following code snippet the SMA and the RSI indicator will be initialized with the same DataSeries.

        RelativeStrengthIndex rsi;
        SimpleMovingAverage sma;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            rsi = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(DataSource, Period);
            sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(DataSource, Period);
        }

I want the simple moving average to be an average of the RSI values, not a SMA on the chart finding an average of the candlesticks. I want the SMA in the RSI window finding an average of the RSI values.

Like this. can you see the RSI (green) and the SMA (red). This can be done in the GUI but i wish to achieve the same thing but in code

what's the point of this forum if you can't help with coding?

RE:

            rsi = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(MarketData.Close, Period, MAType);
            sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(rsi, Period);

or

               public IndicatorDataSeries dataSeries;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

               dataSeries = CreateDataSeries();

             rsi = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(MarketData.Close, Period, MAType);

             sma = Indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(dataSeries, Period);

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

          dataSeries[index] = rsi.Result[index];

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is 5% better.

   public IndicatorDataSeries dataSeries_Ma;

   public IndicatorDataSeries dataSeries_Rsi;

   public MovingAverage  _ma;

   public RelativeStrengthIndex _rsi;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

               dataSeries_Ma = CreateDataSeries();

               dataSeries_Rsi = CreateDataSeries();

             _rsi = Indicators.RelativeStrengthIndex(dataSeries_Rsi, Period, MAType);

             _ma = Indicators.MovingAverage(dataSeries_Ma, Period, MAType);

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

              dataSeries_Rsi[index] = (MarketSeries.Close + MarketSeries.Open) / 2

              dataSeries_Ma[index] = rsi.Result[index];

(close + open /2 ) is better because close, swings about a lot,  high and low is noise

I want to write an algo that smooths the price, using price action patterns ,  lots of moves stored - just like a computer that plays chess. nearly there...
