EMA on weekly interval

[baruchs]

Hello,
I'm trying to get ema of weekly period and I get a wrong number.
Another question: I'm trading S&P futures. Now M8, but for weekly chart I use "#F" so can I write
var w40 = ema(40, sym('ES #F,W),0);
to receive a current value of EMA(40) of weekly interval.

Regards,

Your script appears to be returning the correct current value when run at my end (see the enclosed image showing your script running on a daily chart compared to the Basic Study exponential average on a weekly chart). In what way are the values incorrect at your end?
ema(40, sym("ES #F,W"),0) will return the current value of the exponential average based on the weekly data of the symbol ES #F.
