EMA tradingview to Gekko

[mikealkeal]

Hello,
How to translate tradingview Pinscript :

Code:

a = ema(b, c)

To Js for Gekko in a strategy


I found this in documentation :

Code:

method.init = function() {
 var weight = 10;

 // add the indicator to the strategy
 this.addIndicator('myema', 'EMA', weight);
}

method.check = function() {
 // use indicator results
 var ema = this.indicators.myema.result;

 // do something with macdiff
}

do I have to write 

Code:

method.init = function() {
 var b = 10;
    var c = 10;

 // add the indicator to the strategy
 this.addIndicator('myema', 'EMA', b, c);
}

thanks for your help.

In Pinescript you have these params:

ema(source, length) → series


For calculation in gekko you only need one param, the source (candles) is supplied by the gekko core so you need only one param in gekko, the length.

thanks mark.sch

is it possible to change the source of Gekko?

if not, does it work with tablib?
For example

method.init = function() {
var Settings = {
Close: 10,
optInTimePeriod: 10
}

this.addTalibIndicator('myema', 'ema', Settings);
