Hi,

1) I wonder how can I plot moving average with shifting. For example,I would like to plot Simple MA of 5 days but plot it shift to the right 3 day time unit.

2) I would like to plot MA X days-MA Y days as a histogram and then plot MA Y days of that different in line. Would it be able to do that? I try to play around with parameter of MACD histogram but it seems not working. Let's say I just want to plot a different between MA12 and MA26 as histogram and then I plot a MA9 average line of that histogram.

For 2 you are talking about MACD.

Check out this video: Understanding MACD

For 1 you can use Custom Indicator in the top window with the following settings:

Plot in Window: Top
Visible (checked)
Center Zero Line (unchecked)
Plot using price scale (checked)
Smoothing Average: 5
(you can use simple or exponential)
Indicator Formula:
C3

here is a video to review: Plotting Custom Indicators with Examples

Hi Craig,

I have viewed the vdo. But still have some questions to ask.

1) if i would like to plot Different between XAVG5-XAVG10 as HISTOGRAM, would it be able to do that in customs indicator.
2) if I would like to plot different between {XAVG5 of (H-L)/2} minus {XAVG10 of (H-L)/2},how do i proceed that with customs indicator?

I can't think of a practical way to plot this a a bar chart, but a MACD with the following settings would outline such a bar chart exactly:

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | MACD:
- Short: 5
- Long: 10
- Period: 1
- Average Type: Exponential
- Plot MACD as Histogram: Unchecked
- Visible: Checked

The following Custom Indicator would match these results:

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Indicator.
- Visible: Checked.
- Center Zero Line: Checked
- Plot using price scale: Unchecked.
- Smoothing Average: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (because the Smoothing Average is 1).
- Indicator Formula: XAVGC5 - XAVGC10

Well, what I try to do is findng a way to plot a moving average line OVER a HISTOGRAM. I found that only MACD has an option of Histogram while only Volume has an options to rising/downing color. I try to customs indicators that plot histogram in rising/downing color and have a moving average line over it. Since you can have moving average only another study. The issue is remain how to plot a histogram of anything besides MACD.

If it could be done, please let me know. But if it's not, I do understand. At the end, I'm appreciate your understanding and assisting.

Volume, Balance of Power and a MACD Histogram are the only indicators in TeleChart plotted using a Bar Chart. I do not know of a way to plot any other Indicators in TeleChart using a Bar Chart.

SnapSheets allows most indicators to be plotted as Bar Charts by changing the Style to Bar in the Properties window. You may wish to review the following:
