I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO ADD ADDITIONAL LINES TO AN EXISTING INDICATOR (REGRESSION CHANNEL

 

I do not think you can modify the program, because it's very difficult.
However, since there is one which you want on the web, I think it would be better to download it.

Hello everybody

I have a discussion the other day with a Forex teacher. I am not a pro but I do have decent knowledge in FX.

She said that, when using Simple Moving Average, the period field is always refering to days, regardless the time frame.

For example if I set period 10 it will take 10 days in D1, 10 days in H1 and so on...

As far as I know if I set 10 in the period field, this will make reference to candlesticks. If I am with H1, then will refer to 10 previous candlesticks of H1 to get the average. And the same if I am using H4, Weekly, etc. I will define the period.

She says that in MT4, periods are always days.

This might be pretty basic but I know I am correct. I know here will be someone who can tell me this.

Thanks in advanced.

 

You are right.
Unless you are using an MTF chart, 10 periods represents 10 hours for 1H chart and 10 days for D1.

I do not understand well, but is there not anything misunderstanding between what the teacher wanted to say and your understanding?

When you see the moving average for 10 days in D1 chart, you need to refer to 10 days (that is, 240 hours) even at 1H.

This is because that is a 24-fold enlargement of D 1.
Is it different from such a story?

Hello


Thank you for the response.

Well, no, she is just saying that always the period (regardless the TF) will be expressed in days. 

 
Demrum: she is just saying that always the period (regardless the TF) will be expressed in days.
  1. "She" doesn't know what she's taking about. Unless you are using a MTF indicator, the period is the number of bars used for the TF of the chart. Just put a 14 period MA on the M1 chart. If it was days, the line would be flat as a D1 14 is the same as a M1 20160
  2. In code it's the number of bars for the TF specified.

    timeframe

    [in]  Timeframe. It can be any of ENUM_TIMEFRAMES enumeration values. 0 means the current chart timeframe.

    ma_period

    [in]  Averaging period for calculation.
