200sma value

[zachj]

On INTC I am seeing a daily 200sma value of 22.17 but on stockcharts and finviz I see a 200sma of 21.74. I have 365 days for Days to Load and us equities RTH chosen. What could be causing the difference?

What is your lookback period on stockcharts and finviz? The number of daily bar used will cause a difference in the SMA.

Oh I don't have any control over that, they are just standard default settings by the site, I don't imagine they could possibly be incorrect as these are widely known sites.

Hi Zachj,

It looks like stockcharts data is split adjusted. After applying allowing for splits data and downloading this information from Yahoo, the 200 Period MA matches on my end.

You'll need to configure NinjaTrader to use this information for your stocks, which is covered in the following tricks video:
