Hi

Would it be possible to add Triangular Moving Average to the 'Moving Average Envelope's 'Moving Average Type' drop down list.
Please

Thank you :)

No it is not possible due to the internal implementation of the triangular moving average.

You can easily modify the study though to use a Triangular moving average:

Ok my friend. thanks for responding.

Sorry to bother you again, but do you think it would be easier for me to fathom out how to alter the Triangular Moving Average study to add envelopes, or Shall I try to alter the Moving Average Envelope's Moving Average Type?

I did try to fathom out how to do it but then i thought it would only take Mr Sierra Chart a few mins to do it and other people would benefit.

I will fathom it out
Thanks :)

You can do it with two instances of the Spreadsheet Formula study:

Upper envelope formula:
=ID4.SG1*1.01

Lower envelope formula:
=ID4.SG1*0.99

-where ID4 is the Triangular MA.
These will plot lines 1% above and below ID4.SG1.

Quick and dirty way:

1. Create your triangular average
2. Add the study Moving Average Envelope
3. On the left select the triangular moving average as the "Based On" source
4. Set the evenvelope moving average length to 1
