Hello,

On the same chart, I can get the 400 SMA showing on 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, Daily and Weekly bar periods BUT NOT on the 1 hour, 4 hour and Monthly bar periods.

Please let me know, many thanks.

Keep in mind that a period of 400 is 400 bars. So when you change to those higher bar periods, do you still have enough data loaded in the chart in order for the Moving Average to calculate over 400 bars?

EDIT: I've finally been able to find the necessary time to do the math and fix my settings.

Thank you so much for your hint.
