multiple instances of same indicator

[SuperDriveGuy]

How can I go about getting multiple instances of the same indicator?

e.g. I need the VWAP which resets every 30 mins AND I also need a VWAP which resets every day  say at 09:00
PS: I can one but NOT both as of now from the studies configuration of VWAP

any ideas?

Hi SuperDriveGuy,
are you asking about the indicator you have developed? Inherit one indicator from another and give it a different name (this is for your convenience only) so you'll have two.
For built-in indicators this is impossible.

Thanks AndreyR!

I was referring to the built in VWAP indicator, so look like that it is not possible to get multiple VWAPs.

As an alternative maybe I can use one of the indicators provided as an example and just create copies as you suggested, so one for 10 mins, 30 mins etc etc

I have one question about the provided "sampleMovingVWAP" and "Moving Average Price", do they actually include the volume data in tgeir calculation i.e. is it a VWAP? I only seem to find reference to price and none to volume, maybe I am missing something? Thanks in advance

Looks like they don't (i.e. they aren't volume weighted)
But you've got an onTrade method in your MovingAveragePrice (or any class that implements the TradeDataListener interface) which gets sizes of each trade. So you can adjust those demo indicators to your needs. This is just an approach idea:

Code: Select all

double cumulativeTotal;
double cumulativeVolume;
double vwap;

@Override
public void onTrade(double price, int size, TradeInfo tradeInfo) {
    double individualTotal = price*size;
    cumulativeTotal += individualTotal;
    cumulativeVolume += size;
    vwap = cumulativeTotal/cumulativeVolume;
}
