The Moving Average studies use a "Length" which is the number of bars. So you would need to determine how many bars make up the 200 weeks worth of data you want to average.

You would have to determine how many bars you have. For instance, if you have 1 day bars, then given that there are 5 trading days in a week and you want 200 weeks, you would need to set the Length to 1000 (5 x 200 = 1000).

trying to set weekly moving averages on a weekly chart, and i can only get the 50 weekly MA. The 100 and 200 MA dont show when i add them. The chart data is historical with 9000 days to load.

What is the symbol of the chart? If it is a Futures contract, do you have the Continuous Contract option setup? If you scroll to the farthest left in the chart, what is the earliest date of the data showing?

Since this is not setup as a Continuous Contract, you are seeing all the data that is available for the H 2026 contract for ES. If you want data going further back, then you would need to setup the chart as a Continous Contract.
