Hi stevo,
The standard parameters for use with the Moving Average (MA) indicator are: Open price, Close, High, Low, Volume, Value and Trades.
There is one other possibility for the MA - to add the MA to the Momentum indicator. In this case it is called "Smoothed Momentum".
However, I don't know of any way to add an MA to the OBV.
Having said that, it is likely to be possible using script (but I don't know enough about that).

Hi stevo,
If there are enough requests for tweaks and new features, then the developers can consider it.
Cheers

Ian, go to indicators and create a new one & call it eg OBV21 for a 21 day EMA of OBV

and copy the following

OBV (c);
MA (OBV (c),21,e);

You can substitute the 21 for what ever time frame you want & the e to s if you want

a simple moving average instead of exponential

then just insert from indicators in a new pane.

Cheers Paul
