Displaying Moving Averages from Multiple Timeframes on One Chart

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This note describes an indicator that overlays moving averages from multiple timeframes on a single chart. The user can configure minimum, middle, and maximum timeframes, along with the averaging period, horizontal shift, smoothing method, applied price, and whether each of the three averages is shown. This arrangement can help a trader compare price behavior across different sampling horizons without switching charts.

The page does not specify the default parameter values, explain how the averages should be interpreted, or propose entry and exit rules. It also gives no chart examples, backtest results, or evidence that combining these lines improves decisions. A brief update note mentions a refresh fix, but offers no detail about what changed. The document is therefore a feature overview for a charting tool, not a tested trading strategy; users would need to choose settings and assess the display in their own market and timeframe context.

Key ideas

  • The indicator plots moving averages from several timeframes on one chart.
  • Users can set the timeframes, averaging period, shift, smoothing method, and applied price.
  • Each timeframe’s moving average can be shown or hidden independently.
  • The note supplies no trading rules or performance evidence for the indicator.
