I am trying to overlay a moving average over a OHLC chart but I get no results.
Any ideas on what am I doing wrong ?

private static OHLCDataset createPriceDataset(String filename)
    {
        //the following data is taken from http://finance.yahoo.com/
        //for demo purposes...


        OHLCSeries s1 = new OHLCSeries(filename);

        try {
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
            DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
            String inputLine;
            in.readLine();
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
                StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(inputLine, ",");
                Date date       = df.parse( st.nextToken() );
                double open     = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double high     = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double low      = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double close    = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double volume   = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                //double adjClose = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                s1.add(new Day(date), open, high, low, close);
            }
            in.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }



        OHLCSeriesCollection dataset = new OHLCSeriesCollection();
        dataset.addSeries(s1);

        return dataset;
    }


private static JFreeChart createCombinedChart()
    {
        OHLCDataset data1 = createPriceDataset(filename);

        XYItemRenderer renderer1 = new HighLowRenderer();
        renderer1.setBaseToolTipGenerator(new StandardXYToolTipGenerator(StandardXYToolTipGenerator.DEFAULT_TOOL_TIP_FORMAT, new SimpleDateFormat("d-MMM-yyyy"), new DecimalFormat("0.00")));
        renderer1.setSeriesPaint(0, Color.blue);
        DateAxis domainAxis = new DateAxis("Date");
        NumberAxis rangeAxis = new NumberAxis("Price");
        rangeAxis.setNumberFormatOverride(new DecimalFormat("$0.00"));
        rangeAxis.setAutoRange(true);
        rangeAxis.setAutoRangeIncludesZero(false);
        XYPlot plot1 = new XYPlot(data1, domainAxis, rangeAxis, renderer1);
        plot1.setBackgroundPaint(Color.lightGray);
        plot1.setDomainGridlinePaint(Color.white);
        plot1.setRangeGridlinePaint(Color.white);
        plot1.setRangePannable(true);

        //Overlay the Long-Term Trend Indicator
        XYDataset dataset3 = MovingAverage.createMovingAverage(data1, "LT", 49.0, 49.0);
        plot1.setDataset(1, dataset3);
        plot1.setRenderer(1, new StandardXYItemRenderer());


        //add a second dataset (volume) and renderer
        IntervalXYDataset data2 = createVolumeDataset(filename);
        XYBarRenderer renderer2 = new XYBarRenderer();
        renderer2.setDrawBarOutline(false);
        renderer2.setBaseToolTipGenerator(new StandardXYToolTipGenerator(StandardXYToolTipGenerator.DEFAULT_TOOL_TIP_FORMAT, new SimpleDateFormat("d-MMM-yyyy"), new DecimalFormat("0,000.00")));
        renderer2.setSeriesPaint(0, Color.red);

        XYPlot plot2 = new XYPlot(data2, null, new NumberAxis("Volume"), renderer2);
        plot2.setBackgroundPaint(Color.lightGray);
        plot2.setDomainGridlinePaint(Color.white);
        plot2.setRangeGridlinePaint(Color.white);

        CombinedDomainXYPlot cplot = new CombinedDomainXYPlot(domainAxis);
        cplot.add(plot1, 3);
        cplot.add(plot2, 2);
        cplot.setGap(8.0);
        cplot.setDomainGridlinePaint(Color.white);
        cplot.setDomainGridlinesVisible(true);
        cplot.setDomainPannable(true);


        //return the new combined chart
        JFreeChart chart = new JFreeChart("Sun Microsystems (SUNW)", JFreeChart.DEFAULT_TITLE_FONT, cplot, false);


        ChartUtilities.applyCurrentTheme(chart);
        renderer2.setShadowVisible(false);
        renderer2.setBarPainter(new StandardXYBarPainter());

        return chart;
    }

I solved it with the follwoing code :

public class PriceVolumeChart2 extends ApplicationFrame{


    final static String filename = "A.txt";
    static TimeSeries t1 = new TimeSeries("49-day moving average");

    /**
     * Default constructor
     */
    public PriceVolumeChart2(String title)
    {
        super(title);
        JPanel panel = createDemoPanel();
        panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 270));
        setContentPane(panel);
    }


    //create price dataset
    //hard-coded here
    private static OHLCDataset createPriceDataset(String filename)
    {
        //the following data is taken from http://finance.yahoo.com/
        //for demo purposes...


        OHLCSeries s1 = new OHLCSeries(filename);

        try {
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
            DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
            String inputLine;
            in.readLine();
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
                StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(inputLine, ",");
                Date date       = df.parse( st.nextToken() );
                double open     = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double high     = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double low      = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double close    = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                double volume   = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                //double adjClose = Double.parseDouble( st.nextToken() );
                s1.add(new Day(date), open, high, low, close);
                t1.add(new Day(date), close);
            }
            in.close();

        return dataset;
    }
