Add multiple moving averages in one go to a chart?

  Hi,

  I’m trying to write and indicator which will, for example, add 30 moving averages to a chart in sequence from 1 to 30 but I’m not quite how to code this.

  Can someone please help? My attempt below obviously doesn’t like the RETURN statement in the FOR NEXT loop.

  Thanks

  Rob

  Add multiple averages in one go to a chart

  FOR i = 1 TO 30 DO a = average[i](open) RETURN a as "Average" NEXT

  1 2 3 4

  FOR i = 1 TO 30 DO a = average[i](open) RETURN a as "Average" NEXT

  There are some limitations because of the “infinite loop” error, but this kind of code could make the trick:

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true defparam calculateonlastbars=100 //--- settings lookback = 50 //periods to plot firstPeriod = 1 //first moving average Period lastPeriod = 30 //last moving average Period //--- end of settings b = 1 for i = max(1,firstPeriod) to max(1,lastPeriod) do for a = 0 to lookback do drawsegment(barindex[a],average[i][a],barindex[a+1],average[i][a+1]) coloured(0,191,max(1,255-b)) next b = b+5 next return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true defparam calculateonlastbars=100   //--- settings lookback = 50 //periods to plot firstPeriod = 1 //first moving average Period lastPeriod = 30 //last moving average Period //--- end of settings   b = 1 for i = max(1,firstPeriod) to max(1,lastPeriod) do for a = 0 to lookback do drawsegment(barindex[a],average[i][a],barindex[a+1],average[i][a+1]) coloured(0,191,max(1,255-b)) next b = b+5 next   return

  Because, it is not possible to draw curve in the past, I used segments instead. You can choose the MA’s first period to last period to be plotted. First time I made a Guppy / Fishnet indicator like this 🙂
