draw n day moving average on intraday charts?

[Forex Trader]

Can someone help me write a script which calculate n day simple moving average ( shifted to the right by one day so that no calculation is needed for any newly incoming ticks ) and draw it on intraday charts? Thanks.

here ya go...

it is the indicator with same parameters as standard moving average, with addition of the "timeframe" parameter which should be set to timeframe (in minutes) you wish to calculate average for
so, in your case, you should set timeframe to 1440 and all other parameters to your likings

it makes no sense to try to display average from shorter timeframe in longer one (for instance 1H average on a daily chart)

hope this helps
