Hello, I was wondering is there a way to plot 3 moving averages based on the stock high, low, and close on a single price chart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sure! I'm going to assume you know how to plot a regular moving average, which is based on the close. If not, you'll want to watch the following video:

Adding, removing and saving indicators to a chart template

For the MA's based on high and low, you'll need to create a custom indicator. The formulas are as follows (and I'll assume a 20 bar moving average...you can make it what you want):

20 Bar Moving Average of Highs
AVGH20

20 Bar Moving Averag of Lows
AVGL20

When you plot these custom indicators, make sure to check the Use Price Scale box. If you're unfamiliar with setting up custom indicators, please watch this training video:
