Hi,
If you're calculationg a moving average fro a lightly traded stock, and there is NO activity for a tick period, how do you get prices for that interval?

Moving averages of price are always calculated on the close for the bars regardless of the activity during that bar.

Is that what you are asking?

If there is no trading for a bar, the price will be the price of the stock at its last trade.
