Hi all, supposing I have 3 moving averages with 3 different lenghts. Which is the most efficient way to create a date series that is the lowest value of these moving averages. I use a loop with if else statements but i think it isn't the better way.

Thank you for your help

Hi,

Community.Indicators has two auxiliary DataSeries, Highest2 and Lowest2, which return the highest (lowest) of two series (respectively). Using them you can practically get a one-liner solution:

Warning: these helpers are rudimentary as they don't expect in principle that the DataSeries you pass to it may have different bar counts. As they're not universal, no synchronization or bound checking is going on under the hood at all. Make sure you pass two DataSeries of equal length i.e. not based on several Bars objects with a different bar count.

I tried to code this without success...

Sure:

Ideally you'd need a new universal procedure (independent of the Lowest2). It would accept a List of DataSeries and loop by their values at a given bar.

Not universal yet but much easier for you to extend:
