MA on last candle

[pipmaker]

Hello,

is it possible to get a "dancing" MA on the last candle
and not only a static MA on the previous candle?

Chris,

Set your indicator's property for CalculateOnBarClose to false.

Hi Josh,

I've done this. But now the MA jumps down on the
previous candle.

pipmaker,

Not sure I follow. What do you mean by jumps "down"? When you set CalculateOnBarClose = false it will calculate your indicator based on each incoming tick. Depending on how it is coded there may be situations where the coder did not address this and results in your indicator getting continually closer to zero.

Hi Josh,

I've done this for both MA's and now I see this.
please have a look at the attached picture.

BTW when I open a new chart the MA is o.k.

When I use the Double MA I get this spike down. With
the WMA Colors it is o.k. Then I will use this MA.

pipmaker,

It is as suspected. The code was not designed in a manner to address tick by tick processing and as such you cannot use CalculateOnBarClose until the code is redesigned to work with such processing.
