Using getseries to calculate ema

Using getseries to calculate ema

Hi,

I'm trying to use a filter rule that gets the series for the SPY ETF and calculates an EMA to see if the SPY is closing above it's 75 average.

spy = getseries("SPY", close);
rule1 = spy > ema(spy,75);

Is this the correct way to express it ?

Also, if I want to see this formula expressed in a pane, is this the correct way of doing it ?

SPY:
symbol = "SPY";
close1 = GetSeries(symbol, close);
open1 = GetSeries(symbol, open);
high1 = GetSeries(symbol, high);
low1 = GetSeries(symbol, low);

PlotCandleStick1(open1, high1, low1, close1, symbol, colorBlack, StyleOwnScale);
PrintChart(symbol, "", BottomLeft, colorBlack, colorTransparent, colorTransparent, 255);

EMA:
symbol = "SPY";
close1 = GetSeries(symbol, close);
a = Ema(close1, 75);
Plot(a, "EMA", colorBlue, chartLine, StyleWidth2);

Thanks,

Yes, it is correct. You can check that by plotting it on a chart.

When using the pane as described above, I notice that if I zoom in/out using de number of bars slider, the EMA changes position. Is there a way to avoid this behaviour?

Thanks

Best Answer

Yes, you need to replace "StyleOwnScale" style in the formula with something like "StyleSymbolNone" to force the plot to use the default scale.
