Hi all, Trying to test a 50 SMA cross at 5 min timeframe. Tried a code for 5 min consolidator, but not sure if I'm passing the right resolution to the SMA call. Attached project, any pointers?
Overall objective is to go long on 50 SMA cross up and short on 50 SMA cross down at 5 min. I'll have to experiment on longer timeframes, but if I get the consolidator code working, that should be possible.
Thanks in advance.

//before init SimpleMovingAverage _sma; //inside init _sma = new SimpleMovingAverage(20); //inside consolidted bars: TradeBar bar; if (data.TryGetValue(_symbol, out bar)) { _sma.Update(bar.Time, _anyData); }

// in OnData, returns outside of 9am - 2pm if (Time.Hour <= 9 || Time.Hour > 14) return;

var rsi = RSI("SPY", 14, Resolution.Daily); var smoothedRsi = new ExponentialMovingAverage("SPY_EMA_RSI", 7).Of(rsi);
So now the smoothedRsi will receive auto updates from the rsi. Now, just for your knowledge Tadas, you can make the same thing work without auto updates. Say ou define the following:// in initialize rsi = new RelativeStrengthIndex("SPY_RSI", 14); smoothedRsi = new ExponentialMovingAverage("SPY_EMA_RSI", 7).Of(rsi); // in OnData rsi.Update(Time, data["SPY"].Close);
The smoothedRsi variable will still receive the automatic updates from the rsi variable. So each time an indicator produces new data, he fires an event. Using the 'Of' method allows other indicators to receive their data from other indicators!Tadas Talaikis
