Sample SMA
Sample SMA

Hi,
I'm trying to configure a trade entry logic using the sample sma.
Instead of IsRising() and IsFalling() conditions I want to enter into a trade when the Bars.OpenPrices.Last(1) is greater than the Sample SMA.
What do I need to do to execute this cBot properly?
I have initialized the indicator using the OnStart() function.
Here is the code:
[Parameter(DefaultValue = 10)]
public int Periods { get; set; }
SampleSMA _sma;
#endregion
#region Methods
protected override void OnStart()
{
_sma = Indicators.GetIndicator<SampleSMA>(Bars.ClosePrices, Periods);
// Two consecutive up bars
if (Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) > Bars.OpenPrices.Last(1)
&& Bars.ClosePrices.Last(2) > Bars.OpenPrices.Last(2)
&& Bars.OpenPrices.Last(1) > _sma.Result.LastValue)
&& Bars.OpenPrices.Last(2) > _sma.Result.LastValue))
Please advise.

RE: Sample SMA
Hi Humza,
Just use Last() method as you do with ClosePrices and OpenPrices
if (Bars.ClosePrices.Last(1) > Bars.OpenPrices.Last(1)
&& Bars.ClosePrices.Last(2) > Bars.OpenPrices.Last(2)
&& Bars.OpenPrices.Last(1) > _sma.Result.Last(1))
&& Bars.OpenPrices.Last(2) > _sma.Result.Last(2)))@PanagiotisCharalampous

The Problem
I am unable to reference sma values using bars ago function as possible using NinjaTrader 8.
Bars.ago made it really simple to reference indicator values certain bars ago - there is an indicator value attached to each bar on the chart in NT8.
Please advise.
