#Add an Indicator to a Series

This example builds a exponential moving average indicator for Close values of a stock series.

  1. Add the ExponentialMovingAverageIndicator object to the chart’s collection of series (ChartView.Series).
  2. Set the indicator’s Data property to a CalculatedSeriesDataAdapter class instance. Use this object’s Series property to specify a series for which the indicator should be calculated.
  3. Use the ValueLevel and PointsCount properties to specify the price level of a financial series point and the number of data points used to calculate the indicator.
<dxc:ChartView x:Name="chart">
    <dxc:ChartView.Series>
        <dxc:StockSeries>
            <dxc:StockSeries.Data>

                    <dxc:ValueDataMember Type="Open" Member="Open" />

                </dxc:SeriesDataAdapter>
