Hi,
When trying to use the ma indicator in my strategy to calculate the SMA for Period.TICK, i get an error that says i cannot have a "shift" argument. I'm using zero shift.

Question: How do I get the SMA for Period.TICK for say a 20 tick period.

thanks for the help.

It's not possible. The smallest period is ten seconds.

Hi

can you please help - if I change this period.Daily to period.one-hour - it will not compile


//Fetching previous Hourly bar from history
IBar prevBar = history.getBar(this.instrument, Period.One_Hour, OfferSide.ASK, 1);

Much appreciated
Polla

Hi,
Please consider this: 
IBar prevBar = history.getBar(this.instrument, Period.ONE_HOUR, OfferSide.ASK, 1);
