use a Multi Time Frame MA....
Yes, that sounds like it. And where do I find that? It's MT4, isn't it?

But even then, what about things that use , MA's, like oscillators, or MACD? Do they map across, too? And what about custom lines, which can't easily map across and have to be kept graphically static?

do a search for MTF MA...same for the others...so when your on a 5min, you tell the MA to be a 5min, and when you slide down to the 1min, it will still be 5min MA...it will just plot it like a step...

That's correct. The MA period is number of bars you want to average out. So just change the number to match the length of time in the other chart. Or you could just get a MTF MA to do it for you like PTL suggested.
Sure, but here's the thing. Say you have a line that's expressed as, oh, a 12H ma. That's 720M. But you have software that's keeping that thing - and executing trades - in 5 sec update and trading then even intrabar. So its coefficient, which will give you the same line as the other two to very close contact, by the way, is 720*12 (12 5 sec bars per min). And your chart software won't go above 999 period on the ma's. So if you want to see you trades in the timeframe the trades happen, you can't see the line. Or, vice versa.

Screwed again.

Here's one I have. It has two MA's. If you don't want both, then just set the color to "none" on the one you don't want.

But the thing is, I don't use MT4. I don't have an MT4 broker, and even if I did, I'm not sure those things aren't phoning home, just like that guy who wanted us to connect to his machine in India in direct connection.

There are limitations. What you're trying to do is zoom in on a higher timeframe MA. As a result, the MA will not appear smooth on the smaller timeframes. Hence, the step appearance.

Oh, well. Thanks for all the input. I've wasted enough of you guys' time.

I'm just going to find some kids who know Excel graphics inside and out, or maybe look into the Java graphics open source API's and find some other kids who'd like to do that. Couldn't cost more than a couple thousand to get just what I want either way. And that would be worth it to me.

Rant over.
