I have not been able to work out how to combine different time frames within the same scan. Only way I could think of was to convert parameters to a common period. Eg 100 day MA = 20 week MA. Cheers Rod

Thanks for the reply Rod. Not sure how I missed this feature in the manual - very handy.

Is it possible to use this in a Scan?

There are a couple of ways to do what you want. The simplest is to simply plot the SMA on the chart and then open up the indicator properties and select the "Advanced" tab. Under the tick box for Convert period: select Weekly. You now have a daily chart with a weekly moving average plotted on the chart. Cheers Rod

The Metastock Tips and Tools site (http://www.metastocktips.co.nz/) has a range of multi-frame indicators. These let you plot weekly indicators on a daily chart.

I would love to be able to use some of these in bullcharts but have been unable to successfully port them to bullscript. Ideally I would like to use these in some of my tradesim scans.

Below is one of the metastock scans that plots a weekly SMA on a daily chart. I would really appreciate it if someone was able to convert this to bullscript. If I had this as a starting point I might be able to convert some more of their scans.

=================
Multi-Frame D SMA
=================

"Multi-Frame D SMA" plots a weekly or higher periodicity SMA signal on any EOD
or higher periodicity chart with sufficient open data. A prerequisite is the
Equis Forum DLL, available on this site or from http://forum.equis.com/
