Multi-Timeframe SMA

[VagyokC4]

Is it possible to... while looking at a 30 min chart, place a simple moving avarage from the 60 min time frame?

Please tell me how I can accomplish this???

You can accomplish this using the customMA.efs which is installed with eSignal in the EFS2 Custom folder of Formulas. That formula (together with all the other formulas in that same folder) is already enabled for multiple intervals and/or external symbols meaning that it can be run on a chart of a given interval (and/or symbol) and the calculations and resulting plots are based on another interval (and/or symbol)

MTF Moving Averages

I made this for you. The efs includes three moving averages, 2 of them have selectable timeframe from the menu.

Small Bug

Sorry, need to post again, there was a small bug in the file. Here's the update

Offset dosen't work "D" MA on a "5" using customMA.efs

Hi, I'm trying to overlay a prior "D" MA on todays "5" chart using the customMA.efs (included in the customs folder). I want the prior days average displayed on the current days bars and I thought the "offset" would do this so the prior days average is not effected by todays price.

In the properties window I set interval to d and offset to 1. The "D" interval works but the offset dosen't.

example: ohlc averaged for the prior 2 days displayed on todays bars like the Prev Open.efs.... etc.

To do what you want requires a couple of modifications to that formula
The first is to replace the following line of code

xMA = offsetSeries(eval(Type)(Length, eval(Source)(sym(vSymbol))),Offset); 

with the following

 xMA = eval(Type)(Length, eval(Source)(sym(vSymbol))); 

Then replace the following line of code

return getSeries(xMA); 

with the following

if(Offset!=0) return xMA.getValue(-(Offset));
else return getSeries(xMA); 

Save the script with a different name and load the new script in the chart. With this modification the Offset will apply also when using external intervals

Muchas Gracias Alex,

It's working. Scratched my head for 2 days trying to code a daily moving average on a intra chart. Then I found this thread.

Thanks again !!
