Hi,

I'd like to request an indicator based on a moving average. Type and method of calculating the MA should be configurable. ie . SMA or EMA and close, or HL/2 etc.

Basically I'd like to be able to select a start date and time, and with each bar that follows the MA should add 1 to the period. So on bar 1 the MA would be a 1 period MA. Bar 2 should be a 2 period MA, bar 3 a 3 period MA and so on....bar 50 should be a 50 period MA.

Also would like to be able to do the same with the included Linear Regression Indicator.

Thanks,
fifty_fifty

I think you'd do much better using an IStrategy to do this, and putting selected marks on the chart.

So the MA would be FAST early in the scenario, and then over time, become SLOW, since it includes more periods ?? Then, at some point you might RESET it to start over again, etc. ?

I'm a big believer in innovative analytic methods, but what would be the purpose of such an indicator anyway? How would you interpret it or use it?

Hmmmm

Thanks for your response hyperscalper.

I requested the indicator as I don't know how to code, suggesting I use IStrategy is not much use to me.

Exactly.

As with all indicators, they are open to the users perception. I have a few ideas here, but often I don't completely figure out how I'll use an indicator until it is on the chart in front of me.

Totally Disagree. Indicators are called that for a reason. They indicate... to me the possibility of something potentially happening.
I don't believe they predict anything.

Thanks again,
