Hey There,

I need to reference a moving average with a length of 750 however the maximum length i seem to be able to enter is 500.

My questions are these:
1: Why is this?
2: Is there a work around for the issue?

Thanks

That's strange. Try Import Custom Indicator and use the attached indi from Trade Laboratory. Here are the input options from the code:

List of MAs:
// MA_Method= 0: SMA - Simple Moving Average
// MA_Method= 1: EMA - Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method= 2: Wilder - Wilder Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method= 3: LWMA - Linear Weighted Moving Average
// MA_Method= 4: SineWMA - Sine Weighted Moving Average
// MA_Method= 5: TriMA - Triangular Moving Average
// MA_Method= 6: LSMA - Least Square Moving Average (or EPMA, Linear Regression Line)
// MA_Method= 7: SMMA - Smoothed Moving Average
// MA_Method= 8: HMA - Hull Moving Average by Alan Hull
// MA_Method= 9: ZeroLagEMA - Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average
// MA_Method=10: DEMA - Double Exponential Moving Average by Patrick Mulloy
// MA_Method=11: T3 - T3 by T.Tillson
// MA_Method=12: ITrend - Instantaneous Trendline by J.Ehlers
// MA_Method=13: Median - Moving Median
// MA_Method=14: GeoMean - Geometric Mean
// MA_Method=15: REMA - Regularized EMA by Chris Satchwell
// MA_Method=16: ILRS - Integral of Linear Regression Slope
// MA_Method=17: IE/2 - Combination of LSMA and ILRS
// MA_Method=18: TriMAgen - Triangular Moving Average generalized by J.Ehlers
// MA_Method=19: VWMA - Volume Weighted Moving Average
// List of Prices:
// Price = 0 - Close
// Price = 1 - Open
// Price = 2 - High
// Price = 3 - Low
// Price = 4 - Median Price = (High+Low)/2
// Price = 5 - Typical Price = (High+Low+Close)/3
// Price = 6 - Weighted Close = (High+Low+Close*2)/4
// Price = 7 - Heiken Ashi Close
// Price = 8 - Heiken Ashi Open
// Price = 9 - Heiken Ashi High
// Price =10 - Heiken Ashi Low

We believe 500 is more than enough. Big periods like that do not give the best signals.

You may believe that larger lengths may give poor signals but I didn't purchase your product for advice. I purchased it so i would have a quick tool for writing Expert Advisers. I advise that it would be beneficial for all if you focused your efforts on providing a robust tool rather than needlessly constricting the methodologies that your product is capable of handling.

We will change the period for the next release. For now, If you have a pro version you can change the period manually. If you have a standard version we can do it for you. In any case send us an email with the strategy file .mol file and we will do it for you.
