Your code is correct.

I may help you with the code if you attach both indicators.

I can only suppose that you haven;t changed the "Calculate" method correspondingly.

The original code is:

        public override void Calculate(IDataSet dataSet)
        {
            DataSet = dataSet;

            // Reading the parameters
            BasePrice basePrice = (BasePrice)IndParam.ListParam[2].Index;

It will not work with your modification because it will covert the index 0 to BasePrice.Open.

You have to change the code to that:

        public override void Calculate(IDataSet dataSet)
        {
            DataSet = dataSet;

            // Reading the parameters
            BasePrice basePrice = BasePrice.Close;

I think you need to keep index as in the original. And forcing comes easier when you do it in the calc block, why waste time with a parameter window? But the latter is only my opinion.

Hello Pop
When trying to force MA indicator to use only close it gives me different calculations from the normal use of baseprice (close) !!!!!!

The original code :

IndParam.ListParam[2].Caption = "Base price";
            IndParam.ListParam[2].ItemList = Enum.GetNames(typeof (BasePrice));
            IndParam.ListParam[2].Index = (int) BasePrice.Close;
            IndParam.ListParam[2].Text = IndParam.ListParam[2].ItemList[IndParam.ListParam[2].Index];
            IndParam.ListParam[2].Enabled = true;
            IndParam.ListParam[2].ToolTip = "The price Moving Average is based on.";

The modified code :

 IndParam.ListParam[2].Caption = "Base price";
            IndParam.ListParam[2].ItemList = new[] { "Close" };
            IndParam.ListParam[2].Index = 0;
            IndParam.ListParam[2].Text = IndParam.ListParam[2].ItemList[IndParam.ListParam[2].Index];
            IndParam.ListParam[2].Enabled = true;
            IndParam.ListParam[2].ToolTip = "The price the central Moving Average is based on.";

logically they should plot identical lines but it didnot happen !!!!
