Guppy Multiple Moving Average - page 7

Guppy MMA metatrader 5 version ...

Upgraded a guppy mma for metatrader 5 version. It has a much simpler code and allows usage of "palete" of colors . To remind that metatrader 5 does not have a 8 drawing buffers limit so it is showing all the Guppy moving averages (no need to have 2 separate indicators : one for short MMAs and one for longs, all are in this single indicator)

what does the values in ExtMapBuffer1=iMA(NULL,0,20,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,i) means?

[Mladen Rakic]

It means that i th element of ExMapBuffer should be assigned the value of a 20 period simple moving average of close

I mean to thicken 1 of the lines by default . Which part of the code to change?

[Mladen Rakic]

Use the #property indicator_width(n) for that. where "(n)" should be replaced with a number ranging from to 8 (depending on the buffer number you wish to declare the default width for)
