MA's on multiple charts

I have a 20 SMA on my 1H chart and wish to plot that same SMA on a 15min chart - is there a way/formula for doing this or is it not possible unless you have a custom formula?

For example, I want the 1H SMA to plot exactly the same on the 15min chart.

Thanks

Since there are 4 candles on a 15min chart that represent an hour you can get a close by putting in an 80 SMA, I don't think it is exactly the same, but close?

Or am I just a moron?

Yes

...and yes. (heh heh)

I do that ALL the time. It's close enough. Especially with EMAs. The good thing about MT4 is the "visualisation tab" on its indicators. You can create an 80 EMA etc and have it only display on the 15-min timeframe. For example when you're switching around all over the place.

I have set up my MAs as they mentioned above. You might also consider using the Envelopes indicator in a similar way as this will give a channel to work with. I have set this up a I find it helpful.
good luck

If it is exactly the same, it is coincidence. For that to happen, the average Close of the four {15min} bars, would have to equal the Close of the fourth {15 min} bar which will be the Close of the 1 Hour Bar.

Close enough for visual analisys though.

Get xpMA. You can set the timeframe to any you want.

Here's the Multi Time Frame MA. It's choppier than a MA, but it should correspond to the correct value (IE, if you have a daily MA on a 15 min chart, it will look like a staircase as the values increment/decrement). Also, it only works on larger timeframes. You can't have a 15min MA on a 4hr chart.

Hope this helps

As C.E.O. mentioned above, the xpMA by CodersGuru ROCKS! Great tool. In fact it is really the only moving average indicator you'll need. I use it, and am looking at a High/Low wave on my chart that i use as an entry filter.

On the multiplying the one hour (or higher timeframe) down to a lower, i've also been doing that since fall of 05. As Bemac said, it's close enough! and my trading account makes record of it.
