Hello, I was wondering if there was a preset indicator for a 3 period moving average or one that I can customize? More specifically a 16 period moving average of (CLOSE - CLOSE[2]) + CLOSE[1]. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

See the following two links in the SC documentation: arithmetic operations (where you make the result three close in the equation) Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies Based on (where the moving average will have your equation as input) Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Based On - Basing a Study on Another Study |

Try this:1. Add the Spreadsheet Formula study. - Set the Chart Region to 1. - Use this formula in its Formula field: =C - C[-2] + C[-1] - Hide the study. 2. Add the moving average of your choice. - Set the Based On to the Spreadsheet Formula study |

Thanks for all your replies! What worked the easiest was using spreadsheets. Looking into rewriting some of my custom ToS indicators with ACSIL now. Thanks again everyone.
