multiple tick chart indicator

I’m trying to make an indicator that draws from information on 3 different tick chart levels, which I could then use for testing in market replay. I have been experimenting on how to do that in multicharts. Here is the code that I used:

Code: Select all

inputs:    MALength( 4 );



variables:    MA4( 0 ),    MA42( 0 ),    MA43( 0 );

        

MA4 = AverageFC( Close, MALength );

MA42 = AverageFC( Close, MALength ) of data2;

MA43 = AverageFC( Close, MALength ) of data3;



If



MA4 > MA4[1] AND        

MA42 > MA42[1] AND

MA43 > MA43[1]



then

   

 Plot1(1,"uptrend");

This was applied to a chart with three different timeframes and then set on market replay. The results were not what I expected. It seemed to partially work, triggering only sometimes.

I am curious if this type of code would be possible to do in multicharts. Or will I need to go about this a different way? Global variables, ADE, etc..?

Code: Select all

MA42 = AverageFC( Close, MALength ) of data2;

MA43 = AverageFC( Close, MALength ) of data3;

Hello acdrew0,

Should it be calculated on respective data series the following way?

Code: Select all

MA42 = AverageFC( Close of data2, MALength ) of data2;

MA43 = AverageFC( Close of data3, MALength ) of data3;

Code: Select all

then Plot1(1,"uptrend");

Should the plot reset to zero if the conditions are not met?

Code: Select all

then Plot1(1,"uptrend") else plot1(0);
