Post From: DailySMA Study from ThinkOrSwim

Is it possible to reproduce ThinkOrSwim's DailySMA study in the Sierra Charts? I searched all over Google and could not find an answer to this so if this was asked already, I apologize.

I tried 2 studies in Sierra Chart on ES symbol and I could not get them to match up.

For first method, I added "Moving Average - Time Period" study and set:
Input Data: Last
Time Period Type: Days
Time Period Length: 5
Sierra Chart calculated the value for that study as of this writing: 6854.00

For second method, I added "Moving Average - Simple" study and setting chart timeframe to 1 day. For Moving Average - Simple, I set:
Input Data: Last
Length: 5
Sierra Chart calculated the value for that study as of this writing: 6855.50

On ThinkOrSwim, the DailySMA 5 day (for /ES) is currently (as of this writing) 6877.15

Is there a study for Sierra Chart that can match ToS's DailySMA study?

Thank you.
