Multi time frame moving average question

Hi all


Can someone please confirm how I can transpose a 15 minute chart 50EMA onto a 1 hour chart?

Would I put a 13 ema on my 1 hour chart and this would be indicative of a 52 EMA on a 1 hour chart?

My maths is not so great :-)

many thanks

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong:

I calculate 50MA on a 15min chart in this way

15min * 50 = 750min period of the MA
1h = 60min --->

750 / 60 = 12.5 MA (13MA).

But your second question I don't understand, sorry.

A 50EMA on a 15 minute chart is a 12 or 13 EMA on the hourly chart.

Hi FXP

Putting an EMA(52) on a M15 chart will approximate a EMA(13) on an H1 chart, because 52 x 15 mins = 13 x 60 mins. The result will not be exact, because the M15 chart contains intermediate data points that are being included in the calculation.

The attached M15 chart bears this out. Blue line = EMA(52), red line uses the attached #MTF_MovingAverage (MTF = multiple time frame) indicator to plot the equivalent of an H1 EMA(13). The steps in the red line reflect the fact that the H1 plot is using only every fourth data point.

I have also attached #MTF_MovingAverage for you also.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of an MTF moving average indicator that allows you to set which time it resets. My brokers day doesn't not start until 8 pm EST and this has drastically thrown off my MA properties. Also might need a Sunday bar setting as well. Ive tried searching but couldn't find one. Any helps appreciated

I'm looking for a way to display EXACT image of expotential moving averages from M15 to M1.
I know there are similar questions above but i want to get it from higher TF to lower, not from lower to higher.
Correct me if i'm wrong, when it is SMA we can to this easily:
to get the image of 50 sma from M15 to M1 simply: 15x50=750, put SMA750 on M1 chart.
But my system consists of EMA's and with them I ain't got no clue. Is there any way/ indicator to import that image from M15 to M1 ?
It could be even displayed in digit value , but I need it on M1...... thanks in advance for any ideas.

I use EMA's in my system for support/resistance level so the present value could be displayed as horizontal lines like pivot indicators, but with the value from M15, wow that would be amazing, is it possible ?
Please tell me if you have seen something like that or can create in minutues, that would be awesome tool!!

Hi yes iv experienced the same problem I use the 100 &200 sma for support and resistance I have spent an hour or two trying to recode that same indicator with no joy. I think I will leve the coding to the programmers its much easier I have even added count the number of bars but cannot get ride of line down on the start bar hear is what I have come up with to solve my problem remember I use sma for support and resistance hope this helps...

Dear Hanover,

check your own work on differnt time frames require differnt EMA setting,so how can all time frames be setup to 1 time frame in MTF EMA dashboard.what i wanted was that if indicator has an option to add differnt EMAs for different time frames instead of applying 20 EMA for all time frames in MTF.

the above indicators are not showing on mt4,any reasons?

I can't be 100% sure, but it's possibly because these are old indicators that were created prior to MQL4 build 600, when the programming language was changed (back in Feb 2014). I've compiled the MQ4s in the above posts using the build 509 compiler and attached the resulting EX4s below.

As I neither wrote these indicators, nor have I ever used them, I have no idea whether they will work or even what they are supposed to do. Download and try them at your own risk. You might need to delete the MQ4 files and then restart MT4, to get them to run correctly.

Thank you very much for sharing the MTF indicator David.

When trying to compile the indicator I get one error and two warnings regarding lines 116, 118, and 126. Could you, or someone else, please tell me what need to be done in the code? Please look at the attached screenshot.

Thanks

Probably not surprising as the mq4 is more than 13 years old now. You could try deleting the mq4 file and downloading the ex4 attached to post #10 into your ..../MQL4/Indicators folder. Can't promise it will work but it might be worth a try.

Hi mntiwana,
thanks for your support. The updated MTF_MovingAverage indicator now does not work on 120 or 180 minutes-time frame. Is it possible to repair it in this direction?
