Example

// Create a buffer for a moving average with display properties
const maBuffer = this.api.CreateIndexBufferWithArgs(
  0, // Index
  "Moving Average", // Label
  TDrawStyle.LINE, // Draw as a line
  TPenStyle.SOLID, // Solid line
  2, // Width of 2 pixels
  "#0000ff" // Blue color
);

// Calculate and store values in the buffer
for (let i = period; i < this.api.Bars(); i++) {
  maBuffer[i] = calculateMA(i, period);
}
