Hi, I spent hours staring at the simple code below which I used to extract the value of 30 LWMA using iMA function. To my surprise, the value from iMA is different from that shown on the chart. Here is my code:
iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_H4,30,0,MODE_LWMA,MODE_CLOSE,0) = 121.9779
On the GBPJPY H4 chart, the value for 30 LWMA was 122.133. Can anyone please advise what is the reason for the discrepancy ?
I also compared EMA values on the chart with iMA calculation, and they are different as well. I am testing this on a demo account. Please help. Many thanks.
