Moving Average of custom indicator

[Jose Ma Gassin Perez Traverso]

So, i've coded many EAs, but i'm a bit new on indicators.

I made a Donchian Channels indicator for MT5, but i want to make an EMA of the BASE line and i can't find how, i already checked the Custom Moving Average indicator source without luck.

So any help would be great, thanks :)

In short: how to make an EMA of a custom value/source instead of price source.

There are many example indicators in the CodeBase, many of which incorporate moving averages. Study them and apply the code to your own requirements.

Here are some examples of my own which incorporate EMA's.

The following paper is also of great value for implementing EMAs — Incremental calculation of weighted mean and variance (Tony Finch) [2009, Cambridge University]

Thanks sir, always a pleasure :)
