Repositioning an Indicator

[AntaniTheBest™ 10]

Hi ,

 

Would it be possible to move an indicator (such as moving average) in the middle of his career?

I try to explaine : a trendline drawn , if I wanted to move the move by grabbing his extreme. Here, if I wanted to move a moving average, to my knowledge, you can not because the MovAvg is anchored to the chart. I would only move the moving average and not everything that concerns the bar prices.

In addition, I would like to know if this movavg, it can not move from the extremes but in the middle or in a spot chosen by me.

 

 

Tks for help

Hi,

Not sure if I quite got what you were asking, but if you need to position a moving average around the chart you might find this indi useful.

I have made it so that you can apply horizontal and vertical shifts both positive and negative.

The chart attached shows the same indi loaded a few times with some parameters changed to show you how it can work.

Hope you find this useful.

Cheers

Hi Brooky and tks for help.

I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention that the language on which the code was applied to EasyLanguage. :-P

 

Tks

One way would be to add an offset input and add that to the average before plotting it. If you wanted to shift it left/right too you would need to add a y offset too. Something like

 

var: Period(13),Xoffset(0),Yoffset(0);

 

....code to calculate average goes here....

 

plot [Yoffset](MyMovingAverage+Xoffset);

 

 

It would not be drag and drop but it would allow you to 'nudge' the average around by changing the offset parameters.

Tks BlowFish ,

 

But if I wanted to move the point Z? I try to explain better: Y is the beginning, X is the end: Z in the middle there. That 's what I want to move, leaving intact the Y and Z points. Something like that, it can be done? Is there a way to codify?

In addition, the drag and drop is not really possible?

why don't you post a diagram?

Hi Tams ,

 

in graph attached . This is an example , with polynomial predict . But it could be any other indicator .

if you want to do a grab and drag,

no, it cannot be done because EasyLanguage/TS/MultiCharts is not designed for such an operation.

 

You might want to check out Amibroker. It has a slider where you can change a moving average period on the fly.

It could change the slope of the curve, but it still would not hold X and Y in place. To do that, you will need to re-evaluate the formula and its variables.

Ok . Tks .:-(

i'll try to modified formula and variables. ;-)

Tams has pretty much said this but what you require is not 'repositioning'. You need to completely recalculate the curve to fit the points.....it will be unlikely to be a moving average after this.

 

I am not sure what curve fitting algorithm will suit your purpose, I seem to recall NURBS (Non-uniform rational basis spline) being popular. (This does surface too). Non-Linear regression or least squares would be good search terms too.
