You define a "Length" not a time. So you are defining the numbers of bars that are used. If this is set to 6, then it is using 6 bars to define the moving average. As such, whatever you are using as the Input to the moving average is going to be taken from those 6 bars. The most recent bar is going to be whatever the value is at any given time - keep in mind the bar updates at the "Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds".
