Hi,
I just discover this repository and I have started to use this indicator. I notice that it is only for close prices. There are some ways to use others? Maybe We could extend the functionality to others (low, high, open prices) by adding a new parameter to the method. What do you think about it?
Thanks.

We’ve added that option to SMA and EMA. It make sense to do that for WMA too. I’ve added this in v1.22.4

And in version 2.0, we've added full chaining options, so you can now do this:

var results = quotes
  .Use(CandlePart.High)
  .GetWma(...);

Is there a way to use MACD: Histogram as a source?

TradingView options:

Our chaining model for MACD currently uses the Macd value, so normally you’d simple do this:

var results = quotes
  .GetMacd(..)
  .GetWma(..);

However, since you want to use a different value, you’ll have to map differently. Try this:

var results = quotes
  .GetMacd(..)
  .Select(x => (x.Date, x.Histogram.NullToNaN()))
  .GetWma(..);

Just an FYI, as a side note, when choosing the the default chaining value Macd I remember having this conversation on which value is more important. I can be convinced to switch this to Histogram, but am not sure yet which is more common in the chaining use case. I can only pick one and we chose Macd.

I considered a design where you can simply type the property, but wasn’t happy with the performance since it relied on slow Reflection methods. That’s why we use a default value for chaning.

I tried this already:

var results = quotes
.GetMacd(..)
.GetWma(..);

But it is not giving similar results.

I will try to use the next one as suggested by you.
