Error when using WMA in Strategy

[Tantalus]

I'm trying to write a strategy that uses a weighted moving average. I used this line to create the indicator:

Code: Select all

  hWMA_High := CreateIndicator(Currency, TimeFrame, 'MovingAverage', '12;0;Weighted (WMA);High');


But I receive this message in the Journal:

Code: Select all

Wrong option value: Weighted (WMA), (Moving Average)

and instead it creates a SMA using the Close. What code should I use for MA types other than simple?

New version of Moving Average uses 3 integer parameters first '12;0;0;Weighted (WMA);High' . For any indicator you need to send parameters in the same number and order as you can see in its dialog window.

Ah, I see. The help file only tells about two params. Can you explain what the third one is?

Thanks.

The third one is vertical shift in points so you can make bands from moving averages.
