1. simple moving average
i am wondering if anybody is willing to program a simple moving average graph
i am willing to pay for the service
basicly i have a real time data from the broker
data supplied gives many values
i am only in taking the closing price at a given time frame e.g. 1 min, 5 min,
15 min. etc
and plot a simple moving average
the moving average will be of say the last 4 closing prices, or 20 etc
the program should prompt for:
time frame: in min or day
no of closing prices to be used for calculating the moving average
ut will be nice if the graph cna have color for the different closing price
thanks

I'm not offering to do the job, but: did you think about using exponential
smoothing instead of moving average? The formula is very simple, and
it does not need to save more than a single data item.
If the last data is called x, and the new one z, then you get the forecast
for the next one as:
next = x * (1 - coef) + z * coef
where coef is a coefficient between 0 and 1. A large coefficient places
more weight on the new data.
This formula usually gives smoother results than moving average.
Regards.

oddly, i may have something very close to what you're looking for already
coded. look here and see if this is something you could work with.
