Data box EMA values inconsistent

[Vanderbeke]

Hi guys

Is it normal that the values of the EMA differ from the line drawn? As you can see on the image the price at my pointer is 1.08731 whereas the EMA value in the databox is saying 1.08647.

Hello Vanderbeke,

Is this an manually placed drawing object placed at an arbitrary price?

Or was the drawing object placed by an indicator that is setting the price of the drawing object to the price of the SMA on that bar?

Hello Chelsea

Are you referring to my pointer here? This is one of the arrow pointers I can choose from and is not a drawn object.

Hello Vanderbeke,

I was responding to your mention "Is it normal that the values of the EMA differ from the line drawn?". This had led me to believe a line was drawn (not referring to the crosshairs from the mouse)

The mouse position is slightly below the SMA line in the screenshot. It is expected that prices would be different when your mouse position is not exactly at where the SMA is being plotted.
