Hi,

I would like to modify my DEMA calculation from the actual one based on the current time resolution to another resolution.
For example, my signal which works on 5 minutes resolution is also triggered by DEMA values but.... with the following code I attach below, the DEMA is calculated on the same 5minutes bars while I desire that my DEMA indicator in my code calculates over daily bars (time resolution daily and not 5 min. wich is the time for the signal). Is it possible to make changing the code?

Actual code for DEMA based on Xaverage function:

 

Code

inputs: Price(Close), Length(260); vars: X1(0), X2(0), Dema(0) X1= XAverage(Price,Length); X2= XAverage(XAverage(Price,Length),Length); DEMA = X1 * 2 - X2;

and Xaverage function:

 

Code

inputs: PriceValue( numericseries ), Len( numericsimple ) ; variables: var0( 2 / ( Len + 1 ) ) ; if CurrentBar = 1 then XAverage = PriceValue else XAverage = XAverage[1] + var0 * ( PriceValue - XAverage[1] ) ;

Thank you

auato,

you can accomplish your goal by basing your code on another datastream (like data2). However this datastream needs to be present on your charts.
You can find plenty of examples here on nexusfi.com (for example

Is it possible to use the second streaming in the backtest?

auato,

yes, a second datastream can be used in a backtest, too.
