Importing other indicator's values into an indicator - i.e. iMA into RSI

[Michele Bevilacqua]

Hello.

I'm in trouble to import other indicator's value into an indicator.

If in example i want modify the RSI, having in it also the MA value,

i try to use iMA function, in example like this:

double MA;

MA=iMA(NULL,0,Period_MA,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

or also like this

double bufmapre[];

bufmapre[i]=iMA(NULL,0,50,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i-1);

or also 

double MAI[];

MAI[i]=MA;

but it seems that the value of iMA is not imported, not in MA, neither in bufmapre[i], neither in MAi[i];

Why?

it is the correct syntax to import an indicator's value into another, with code example instruction i've written?

I should #include "Moving Averages.mq4" indicator in the begin of the RSI indicator to be modified?

If i include there is, obviously, a conflict of variables.

Can you help me?

It is strange i cannot import the iMA into the RSI indicator, as the Documentation write.

Thnx

I am not quite sure what you are trying to do regarding RSI values, but your first example will return a value.

double maValue = iMA(NULL,0,21,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

this will give you the value of a simple moving average for period of 21 for the current candle.

If you want to use an array, then you need to initialize the array with values first.

double maValues[];

for(int i=21; i>=0; i--) {
   maValues[i] = iMA(NULL,0,21,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i);
}

Your array maValues will contain 22 values for the last 22 periods.
