Distance of Moving average - page 2

[Trading]

whroeder1:

1. OP stated he wants to compare the distance to 50 PIPs, not to 50 points. A PIP is not a point. Either he has to translate 50 PIPs to points to compare to your delta/_Point, or he has to translate your delta/_Point to PIPs to compare to 50 (PIPs.) Your answer is wrong. Your are missing the point. You can not compare 50 (PIPs) to distance (in points) and get a valid answer.
   
2. True and irrelevant.
   
3. True and irrelevant.

Thanks for your input 

If this is the incorrect way to tackle the issue what would be the correct way in your opinion?

William Roeder:

If I measured a 9 foot distance using a yard stick I would get an answer of 3 yards. If I used a foot ruler, I would get an answer of 9 feet. If I wanted yards, 9 is the wrong answer.

OP wanted an answer in PIPs. using _Point gives the wrong answer. A PIP is not a point.

i  like this explanation , 

thanks

yess, i need this solution also.. using point doesn't do much.. how to change from point to pipstep ???
