Multi Moving Averages value display

  • First Post: May 3, 2008 4:02am May 3, 2008 4:02am
Is there an indicator to show the value of multiple moving averages (MA) on the chart windows?

For instance, on the daily chart, it shows the value of MA5, MA10, MA20, MA....

Tried to search on the web, not found yet.

Or does any one know how to add? This information should be put in the line "comment", but don't know how to insert the function.

... sure ... add this to your start function in the indicator you want ...

Inserted Code
double ma1 = iMA(NULL,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double ma2 = iMA(NULL,0,10,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double ma3 = iMA(NULL,0,20,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

Comment ("5ma: " + ma1 + "10ma: " + ma2 + "20ma: " + ma3);
... of course you can add as many as you want, and change it from SMA to EMA, from CLOSE to OPEN, HIGH, LOW etc. .... hope it helps.
You can quit and they won't care, but you will always know.

For the ones who is interested, you can use

double ma1 = iMA(NULL,1440,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

to show the daily MA values in all the other time frames.

Sorry but this thread is not clear to me, and perhaps it would benefit me and others if we understood exactly what it is that you are trying to do.

Is the objective here to add a MA from a different time period onto say a daily chart?

The reason I like to have this function is because 10 days, 20 days, 55 days, 100 days & 200 days moving averages are important support and resistant levels. I'm a daytrader and I look rather in 4H, 30M, 5M charts than in the day charts. So if these daily MA's are shown on the 4H, 30M, 5M charts, I can be more alert. :-) Of course I can write it down, but too lazy ....

Can anyone tell me how to display the comment on the upper right corner?


Inserted Code
#property indicator_chart_window

int init(){
   return(0);
}

int deinit(){

   return(0);
}

int start(){
double Current21EMA = iMA(NULL,0,21,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double Current50SMA = iMA(NULL,0,50,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double Current200SMA = iMA(NULL,0,200,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
Comment ("21EMA: " + DoubleToStr(Current21EMA,4) + "            50SMA: " + DoubleToStr(Current50SMA,4) + "              200SMA: " + DoubleToStr(Current200SMA,4));
   
   }
   
   return(0);
