Hi there,

Can you please explain why I get different Moving averages lines compared to my colleague using the same settings?

Please see attached.

Rgds, Mark

When providing a chart image only follow the instructions here:

Make sure the Displacement setting for each of the Study Subgraphs is the same between the two studies.

This is set on the Subgraphs tab of the Study Settings window.

Otherwise, you will need to determine the reason for the difference with a simple moving average. It is necessary for you to perform the calculation manually and determine why there is a difference. As you do the calculation manually it will become apparent. Use the Chart Values tool to determine the last values of each chart bar:

Or you can use the Spreadsheet Study to have the values in a table format and do calculations:

Here is the documentation for that study:

With the Moving Average-Exponential, refer to the documentation here about this for a reason as to why there is likely a difference:
