Help for creating objects inside a struct (Something similar to creating objects inside constructor in Java)

Lost on How to approach this problem in Rust? Need to create a specific instance of Trait Type T

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct MACDIndicator<'macd, T>
    where T: Indicator {
    indicator: &'macd mut T,
    short_term_period: usize,
    long_term_period: usize,
    signal_line_period: usize,
    calc_indicator_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    calc_macd_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    calc_signal_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    calc_histogram_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    short_term_ema_indicator: &'macd mut EMAIndicator<'macd, T>,
    long_term_ema_indicator: &'macd mut EMAIndicator<'macd, T>
}

impl<'macd, T> MACDIndicator<'macd, T>
    where T: Indicator {
    pub fn new(indicator: &'macd mut T) -> Self {
        Self {
            indicator,
            short_term_period: 12,
            long_term_period: 26,
            signal_line_period: 9,
            calc_indicator_values: Vec::new(),
            calc_macd_values: Vec::new(),
            calc_signal_values: Vec::new(),
            calc_histogram_values: Vec::new(),
            short_term_ema_indicator: &mut EMAIndicator::new(indicator, 12),
            long_term_ema_indicator: &mut EMAIndicator::new(indicator, 26)
        }
    }

Error but the question is more on is the design wrong and how to approach this problem in Rust.

It works this way, but how do I use the field short_term_period to create EMAIndicator

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct MACDIndicator<'macd, T>
    where T: Indicator {
    indicator: &'macd mut T,
    short_term_period: usize,
    long_term_period: usize,
    signal_line_period: usize,
    calc_indicator_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    calc_macd_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    calc_signal_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    calc_histogram_values: Vec<Option<f64>>,
    short_term_ema_indicator: EMAIndicator<'macd, T>,
    long_term_ema_indicator: EMAIndicator<'macd, T>
}

impl<'macd, T> MACDIndicator<'macd, T>
    where T: Indicator {
    pub fn new(indicator: &'macd mut T, indicator1: &'macd mut T, indicator2: &'macd mut T) -> Self {
        Self {
            indicator,
            short_term_period: 12,
            long_term_period: 26,
            signal_line_period: 9,
            calc_indicator_values: Vec::new(),
            calc_macd_values: Vec::new(),
            calc_signal_values: Vec::new(),
            calc_histogram_values: Vec::new(),
            short_term_ema_indicator: EMAIndicator::new(indicator1, 12),
            long_term_ema_indicator:EMAIndicator::new(indicator2, 26)
        }
    }

    // pub fn init(&mut self) {
    //     self.short_term_ema_indicator: &mut EMAIndicator::new(indicator, 12),
    //     self.long_term_ema_indicator: &mut EMAIndicator::new(indicator, 26)
    // }

    // pub fn new_custom_periods(indicator: &'macd mut T, short_term_period: usize, long_term_period: usize, signal_line_period: usize) -> Self {
    //     Self {
    //         indicator,
    //         short_term_period,
    //         long_term_period,
    //         signal_line_period,
    //         calc_indicator_values: Vec::new(),
    //         calc_macd_values: Vec::new(),
    //         calc_signal_values: Vec::new(),
    //         calc_histogram_values: Vec::new(),
    //     }
    // }
}

If you want to take ownership of the EMAIndicator variable, then don't use a reference. References are only for temporary borrows.
