Please review the attached chart. This is a 200SMA on the Cumulative Delta Bars. It is not correct. I have tried a few different setups and cannot get it to work. I thought maybe it was scale, but does not seem to effect it.

.cht is attached.

What exactly do you think is incorrect?

We have reviewed the Simple Moving Average against the data that you have set for it to use (the Cumulative Delta Bars - Close), and the values are correct in the Simple Moving Average. So we do not see a problem.

The only thing we can think is that perhaps you are expecting the Moving Average to reflect the ups and downs of the Cumulative Delta Bars, but this will not be the case when using a length of 200 for the Simple Moving Average. You would have to use a smaller value for that to be the case (try something in the range of 30-50).

If you stretch or resize the chart you can see that the MA does not stay constant to the data. Changing MA still produces the same result.
