Hello, I can't wrap my head around this. I start using Sierracharts again but a SMA gets calculated differently than on some professional buy sell side software and even the bloomberg terminal, I have checked all settings, the only difference is that Bloomberg is using 'Close' and Sierrachart is using 'Last' , there is no 'Last' option to select in the MA, Last in Sierrachart means 'Close' of bar in Bloomberg, correct? I can't find what is wrong now. I have screenshots but will not post them publicly here if you want to take a look please let me know where I can email them. Cheers |

A simple Moving Average is very simple obviously. So if there is any difference it must have to do with the underlying data itself. You need to look at the chart bars and see where there are differences. Refer to the documentation here for this: Chart Drawing Tools: Viewing Tool and Chart Data When Using Tools Or use the Spreadsheet study to look at the data in a table type of view: Overview of Spreadsheet Studies Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I think i found it, it does not take into account if you set the session times. Maybe there is a setting so I can tell Sierracharts only to calculate Moving Averages on bars that are in the session times? Please advise, thanks |
