Hi,

Thank you in advance.

I'm looking for an indicator with different time frames.
For example 30 min, 60 min, 120 min and 240 min. I'm trying to line up the

5 day exponential moving average cross of a 13 day exponential with the above time frames.
I was hoping I could use dots and have all of the dots on one chart.
This would give us the 5 day crossed of the 13 day on different time frames.
Could we also color the dots green for when it crosses up and red for crosses down.

Thank you,

Rich

You can't mix time frames on a chart.  I recommend setting up a daily chart with your 5 and 13 day moving averages and then visually comparing to what's happening on your intraday charts.

I dont have platinum so Im guessing.

 

I believe you can mix timeframes in watchlist columns.

You can add XAVGC5>XAVGC13 as conditions to the watchlist.

(set to each timeframe)

You would use %true and it will show as a check mark.

 

If you want color Green/Red use:

A Custom PCF (not %True)

Use the PCF:  (ABS(XAVGC5>XAVGC13)-.5)/.5

Select the timeframe of interest on chart and choose: "Show Values in watchlist."

The PCF will equal 1 when true and -1 when false so you can make it Green/Red.

 

To fit more in you may want to use 0 decimal places and decrease column width.

 

 

 

Thanks

Here's the way I get multiple time frames on one chart.

5' 15' 30' time frames on 5' chart 13 ema 

requires a conversion

 

5/5=1 *13= 13ema

15/5=3* 13= 39 ema

30/5'=6 * 13 = 78 ema

 

so now you use the 13e, 39e, 78e to represent those time frames for the 13e and watch for crossings etc for signals

I hope this helps
