MovingAverages.mqh is not working!!!

 

Hello,

I need some help with this code, I only need plot a MA (case 1) and EMA (case2) through MovingAverages.mqh but in the first case moving is drawing this way: MA(CASE1)

And the case 2 (EMA) this is the result:

EMA(CASE2)

This is the code.

   {      
      //CASE 1
      MyMABuffer[i] = SimpleMA(i,20,close);
      //CASE 2
      //MyMABuffer[i] = ExponentialMA(i,20,i+1,close); 

   }  
  

   return(rates_total);
  }

Could anyone help me with this? 

I'd really appreciate your help.

Kind regards.

Anthony Garot:

Thank you so much Antony. Could you tell me how can I achieve the same in MT4? I forgot to say that. Sorry about that :)

Because in MT4 nothing is shown.

I just commented this two lines in your code:


//--- indicator buffers mapping
   SetIndexBuffer(0,MyMABuffer);
   //ArraySetAsSeries(MyMABuffer,false);
   SetIndexBuffer(1,EmaBuffer);
   //ArraySetAsSeries(EmaBuffer,false);

but this is the result in MT4

It is like the end is in the start or something like that.

Sorry. I don't use MT4.

I'd really appreciate your help.

Try this (within your 'for' loop):

      if (i<20)
         continue;
         
      //CASE 1
      MyMABuffer[i-19] = SimpleMA(i,20,close);
 
Seng Joo Thio:

Try this (within your 'for' loop):

Hi, Seng thank you so much, the MA is now working but what about EMA, I am trying to do the same but it is not working. Any idea? 

Kind regards.

Try this for EMA:

      MyEMABuffer[rates_total-i] = ExponentialMA(rates_total-i,20,MyEMABuffer[rates_total-i+1],close);
 

So you can use this code by a little modification of @Anthony Garot code for MT4:

Dude, thank you so much! Awesome, just what I needed it, you have saved me, simple and elegant solution :)

Also Thank you so much Seng  and Anthony for your help. I reeeeeally appreciate your effort. 

If there is some place when I can qualify all of you please let me know.

Kind regards.
