I want to monitor a customized data (say stock_price_a/stock_price_b) and use the moving average of this ratio as an indicator. I noticed that SMA or EMA function requires a single stock symbol as an input. Is there a way to calculate customized ratio moving average? or I have to do it with a queue and redefine a new function?

EMA_KO = EMA("KO", 14, Resolution.Daily); EMA_PEP = EMA("PEP", 14, Resolution.Daily); // This will create a new indicator that is the ema_ko divided by the ema_pep KO_Over_PEP = EMA_KO.Over(EMA_PEP); // we'll also create a bollinger band of the ratio for plotting BB_Ratio = new BollingerBands("BB_Ratio", 14, 2).Of(KO_Over_PEP);
This provides a tremendous amount of flexibility! Let me know what you think!Travis Fu

// the identity indicator 'lifts' values into the indicator system for usage with other // indicators KO_Close = Identity("KO"); PEP_Close = Identity("PEP"); // This will create a new indicator that is the ema_ko divided by the ema_pep KO_Over_PEP = KO_Close.Over(PEP_Close, "Raw Ratio"); // but we want the EMA of our ratio, so make a new EMA and define it as 'of' the ratio EMA_KO_Over_PEP = new ExponentialMovingAverage("EMA_Ratio", 1200).Of(KO_Over_PEP); // we'll also create a bollinger band of the EMA of the ratio for plotting BB_Ratio = new BollingerBands("BB_Ratio", 14, 1200).Of(EMA_KO_Over_PEP);
