How could I add a moving average indicator to a higher timeframe chart that is overlayed to a lower timeframe chart?

The general answer is that you use the "Study/Price Overlay" study. Refer to the following: Study/Price Overlay Study But we are not certain from the way you have worded your question if there is something else going on here. It sounds like you have a higher timeframe chart overlaid on a lower timeframe chart and then are taking a moving average of the overlay and then want to overlay that back to the higher timeframe chart. But this doesn't really make any sense, as you should just take a moving average in the higher timeframe chart directly. If we are missing something, then please give us more information on what you are trying to do.

We do not know what you want a moving average of. If it is a Moving Average of the 10 minute chart, then add the moving average you want to the 10 minute chart and use the "Study/Price Overlay" to overlay that to the 1 hour chart. If you want a Moving Average of the 1 hour chart, then add the moving average you want to the 1 hour chart. Again, if it is something else, then we need more information.

I have a 10-minute chart. I am overlying on the 10-minute chart with a 1-hour chart. I want to add a Moving Average - Exponential indicator to the 1-hour chart that was overlayed on the 10-minute chart.

Where exactly is the "Moving Average - Exponential" study located? What chart is it on, the 10 minute chart or the 1 hour chart?

I have a separate chart for the 1-hour chat. The Moving Average - Exponential study is located in the 1-hour chart.

And now you want to overlay the 1 hour exponential Moving Average to the 10 minute chart?

Use the "Study/Price Overlay" and set the region to be the same as the one where the 1 hour chart is displayed.

You are missing the point. I want to overlay the moving average onto the 1-hour not the 10-minute.

You keep contradicting yourself with the different answers you are giving. We have no idea what you are trying to accomplish. For instance, you stated the following stating that the 1 hour chart has the Moving Average - Exponential study on it: "I have a separate chart for the 1-hour chat. The Moving Average - Exponential study is located in the 1-hour chart." And now you state the following stating that the Moving Average - Exponential is NOT on the 1 hour chart: "You are missing the point. I want to overlay the moving average onto the 1-hour not the 10-minute." If you can give us a consistent explanation of what you are trying to accomplish and why you are having a hard time with it, then we can help you. Otherwise, we can only point you to the "Study/Price Overlay", which we have linked to several times.

Please allow me to elaborate and clarify. I have a 10-minute candlestick chart. I want to overlay on the 10-minute candlestick chart with a 1-hour candlestick chart that has a moving average indicator. |

Use the Study/Price Overlay. If you want to overlay both the candlesticks and the Moving Average, then you will need two copies of the Study/Price Overlay, one for the candlesticks (Main Price Graph) and one for the Moving Average.
