"chaining" studies - is it possible?

[gilad]

Is it possible to apply a study on the output of another study or is the input to studies always the price data?
Example:
Suppose I want to calculate and plot the moving average of CCI. At the moment I would use the built in CCI and "hand code" a moving average operation on the result of CCI, but it would be nice if I could do something like MA(CCI(cci_period,price_data),ma_period).

With EFS2 you can very easily write studies on studies. The example you posted would be written as follows
sma(sma_period, cci(cci_period, cci_source))
For more information on the syntax of the EFS2 functions see the EFS2 Function Reference in the EFS KnowledgeBase

Thanks,
I have been coding EFS for the last year or so and have not got a chance to look into the new features of EFS2.
I guess it is about time I do.
