Using calculated values as parameters

[daborn-fox]

Would anyone be able to advise how one can use a calculated value as a parameter to a function?

For example, given the function :-

var vPMP = new MAStudy(3, 0, "HL/2", MAStudy.SIMPLE);

var vEMA3_of_PMP = new MAStudy(3, 0, vPMP , MAStudy.EXPONENTIAL);

return vEMA3_of_PMP.getValue(MAStudy.MA)

I would like to use a calculated value, say vPMP, instead of something like "HL/2" but this generates nothing.

If you want to use the legacy functions then vEMA_of_vPMP would need to be writtem as follows
var vEMA10_of_vPMP = new MAStudy(10, 0, vPMP, MAStudy.MA, MAStudy.EXPONENTIAL);
FWIW you can create this and other studies on studies using the Formula Wizard (as long as you are using only the legacy built-in functions)
That said you may find it easier to use the efs2 functions in which case you would just write
var vEMA10_of_vPMP = ema(3, sma(3, hl2()));
which will calculate the 3 period exponential evarage of a 3 period simple average of the (H+L)/2
For the description and syntax of the efs2 moving averages functions [and examples of their use] see this article in the EFS KnowledgeBase

Thank you.

Thank you, that worked perfectly.
