  Hi Roberto,

   

  Maybe It did not explain correctly.

   

  I post the RSI inidicator mutitimeframe:  It diplays lower RS timeframes in higuer timeframes.

  You can check the post:

  https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/multitimeframe-indicator/

   

  I would like to know if it is posible to do the same with the simple average. You said that it is not possible with Graphonprice instruction..

   

  Thanks in advance

  Plotting a 1-hour average on a 1-hour chart is simple, just add it to your chart.

  Plotting a 4-hour average on a 1-hour chart is possible with GRAPHONPRICE and ProBackTest

  Plotting a 1-hour average on a 4-hour chart makes no sense to me, but you can achieve that by dividing the periods (a 20 period 1-hour average would become a 5-period 4-hour average) but it wouldn’t be exactly the same!

  Having 1 hour 200 average in a 4 hour chart it is something very imprtant to have for me.

  So I guess that it is not possible to recode the RSI multitimeframe to be Average.

   

  Thanks

  Try this:

  //higher timeframe minutes count HigherTFminutes = 60   //current timeframe minutes count CurrentTFminutes = 240   //RSI period to display RSIperiod = 200   if hour<>hour[1] then c = close endif   currentRSI = average[RSIperiod](close)   factor = ROUND(HigherTFminutes/CurrentTFminutes)     MTFRSI = RSI[RSIperiod*factor](c)     RETURN currentRSI as "current TF RSI", MTFRSI as "higher TF RSI"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

  //higher timeframe minutes count HigherTFminutes = 60   //current timeframe minutes count CurrentTFminutes = 240   //RSI period to display RSIperiod = 200   if hour<>hour[1] then c = close endif   currentRSI = average[RSIperiod](close)   factor = ROUND(HigherTFminutes/CurrentTFminutes)     MTFRSI = RSI[RSIperiod*factor](c)     RETURN currentRSI as "current TF RSI", MTFRSI as "higher TF RSI"

  If you want, you can replace any occurrence of the letters RSI with AVG.

  Thank youI have tried but it claims that Average needs apositive rounded number.

  I ave tried to modify it with no luck.

   

  Thanks in advance

  I’m with Roberto on this one – I don’t understand what you will achieve by putting a 1 hour average on a four hour chart. While a four hour candle is forming four 1 hour candles will open and close. When the four hour candle closes you are left with a line that just represents what the 1 hour average was at the close of the last hour of that four hour period. Nothing will be displayed that represents the first three hours.

  Thanks Roberto.

   

  The 200 Average in 60 miutes chart is a suport or resistance line more important than the 200 average in te 4 hours chart.

  As I am trading in the 4 hours chart, It will be perfect to have the 1 hour 200 simple average plotted in the 4 hours chart!

   

  Thanks in advance

  Try replacing lines 18-19 with:

  x = max(1,round(RSIperiod*factor)) MTFRSI = RSI[x](c)

  1 2	x = max(1,round(RSIperiod*factor)) MTFRSI = RSI[x](c)

  I dont know your system but I would default to the H1 chart , plot the H1 200 SMA in H1 and use the powerful multimeframe instructions (  in your case timeframe(4 hours,updateonclose) I guess) to get  whatever H4 data your system uses.

  No, he needs to use a 4-hour chart and wants to plot the 1-hour average on it.

  It’s just a matter of doing some math, though the results won’t be the same as having ProBuilder support multiple time frames (as I hope it will be in the future).

  This works (but, as you can see from attached pic, there’s a slight difference):

  //higher timeframe minutes count HigherTFminutes = 60 //Can be lower (in this case) //current timeframe minutes count CurrentTFminutes = 240 //AVG period to display AVGperiod = 200 if hour<>hour[1] then c = close endif currentAVG = average[AVGperiod](close) factor = HigherTFminutes/CurrentTFminutes x = max(1,round(AVGperiod*factor)) MTFAVG = average[x](c) RETURN currentAVG as "current TF AVG", MTFAVG as "higher/lower TF AVG"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  //higher timeframe minutes count HigherTFminutes = 60                 //Can be lower (in this case) //current timeframe minutes count CurrentTFminutes = 240 //AVG period to display AVGperiod = 200 if hour<>hour[1] then    c = close endif currentAVG = average[AVGperiod](close) factor = HigherTFminutes/CurrentTFminutes x = max(1,round(AVGperiod*factor)) MTFAVG = average[x](c) RETURN currentAVG as "current TF AVG", MTFAVG as "higher/lower TF AVG"

  Mainly the fact that one is a 200 period average on the hourly chart and the other is a 50 period average on the four hour chart!

  75% of the data required to truly calculate a 200 period hourly average is not available on the four hour chart.

  Thank you very much Roberto!

   

  Yes I have been trying and it works ok but the data is slightly different, I is ok to use in demo but not in a real account.

   

  I guess this is the most accurate that we can actually have.

   

  Thanks in advance for yor help
