The Moving Average - Rolling High Accuracy calculates at each chart bar, an average of all of the prices which make up the chart bars over the specified time period. This study relies on the underlying Volume at Price data in the chart to achieve its high accuracy.

It is necessary for Sierra_Chart to be configured for a tick by tick data configuration for the study to it achieve its high accuracy.

To do Weekly and Monthly time periods with this study does not make sense with a rolling calculation because this study does not reference specific segments of time like the start of the week or the start of the month. Instead it back references data at each chart bar by the specified time period. Therefore, just simply set the Time Period Length and Time Period Type Inputs with the study to 7 Days or 30 Days respectively to effectively accomplish this.

If you have set the Time Period Type and Time Period Length Inputs so that the Moving Average calculation is across a large number of bars in the chart and there is a large number of bars loaded into the chart based upon the current Chart Settings, then the study can take an extended time to do the initial calculations and the program user interface will be frozen during this time. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful with these Input settings in order to not put too much of a processing burden on the program.
