Last 5 places of a Moving average

Hello

I’m trying to minimize the number of lines on me charts. Some of the lines I just need the end of it.

Currently I’m using:


drawLineRelative(-1, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-1), 0, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,0), PS_SOLID, 3, Color.RGB(102,102,102), 0 );
drawLineRelative(-2, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-2), -1, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-1), PS_SOLID, 1, Color.RGB(102,102,102), 1 );
drawLineRelative(-3, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-3), -2, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-2), PS_SOLID, 3, Color.RGB(102,102,102), 2 );
drawLineRelative(-4, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-4), -3, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-3), PS_SOLID, 1, Color.RGB(102,102,102), 3 );
drawLineRelative(-5, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-5), -4, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-4), PS_SOLID, 3, Color.RGB(102,102,102), 4 );



To plot the last 5 places of the moving average.

Is there a better or more efficient way to plot the last 5 places of the Moving Average?

Thank you,

ketoma,

try this:

drawLineRelative(-1, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,-1), 0, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA,0), PS_SOLID, thick, Color.RGB(102,102,102), "ma"+macount);
macount++;
if (macount>=5)macount = 0;
if (thick==1)thick=3;
else thick=1;

Thank you very much stevehare2003

but it does not work right in real time or tick replay

Hi ketoma21,

Sorry it did not work out. It does work on my end in real time and tick replay. If you would like, post your code and we can see why it is not working on your end

Below is the EFS

the Top picture is the way it suppose to look and I'm getting the bottom picture with Tick replay and real time

Thank you very much

Hi ketoma21,

Since the efs you posted was from the same basic study as the one I used, I felt the clearest explanation was to just post the efs I was using.

Thank you very much stevehare2003

I due see the differance mine will add one on every tick "macount++;" and your will do it on every new bar.

if (getBarState() == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {


Thank you

ketoma21,

You are most welcome. Yes, it adds another segment to the set every new bar, then every tick, it updates that last segment
