Reference custom indicator
16 Feb 2019, 12:10
Hi,
I tried to reference this custom indicator "ZeroLagEMA" from spka111 (https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/145)
to be used in my custom indicator "ZLMACD", but only NaN shows in my indicator.
No idea what's wrong with my indicator. (I'm a newbie coder)
Hope someone can help to point out the error in my code.
Thanks.


//#reference : ..\Indicators\ZeroLagEMA.algo
using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;
namespace cAlgo
{
[Indicator(IsOverlay = false)]
public class ZLMACD : Indicator
{
private ZeroLagEMA ma1;
private ZeroLagEMA ma2;
[Parameter()]
public DataSeries Source { get; set; }
[Parameter(DefaultValue = 14, MinValue = 5)]
public int X1 { get; set; }
[Parameter(DefaultValue = 14, MinValue = 5)]
public int X2 { get; set; }
[Output("Main", Color = Colors.LimeGreen)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }
[Output("Main1", Color = Colors.Red)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result1 { get; set; }
[Output("Main2", Color = Colors.Yellow)]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result2 { get; set; }
protected override void Initialize()
{
ma1 = Indicators.GetIndicator<ZeroLagEMA>(Source, X1);
ma2 = Indicators.GetIndicator<ZeroLagEMA>(Source, X2);
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
Result[index] = Source[index] - ma1.Result[index];
Result1[index] = Source[index] - ma2.Result[index];
Result2[index] = Result[index] - Result1[index];
}
}

Hi joshc1092,
You have entered the parameters the wrong way round. See below the correct way
ma1 = Indicators.GetIndicator<ZeroLagEMA>(X1, Source); ma2 = Indicators.GetIndicator<ZeroLagEMA>(X2, Source);Best Regards,
