Hi Tim, you should be able to put any MA on any chart on any platform. On the new platform look for Moving averages in the 'indicators' section and this will place the defaults on the chart, then click on the MA box bottom left of chart to open MA options as per pic, set any numbers and colours.

Most kind @TrendFollower, I'm happy to provide an answer if I can though admit I don't always get it right, would probably cost IG a fortune in compensation if they were actually paying me. The key with a new platform (and indicator for that matter) is to get on demo and play around to your hearts content, click everything, change everything, then change it all back, then change it all over again. Then start playing around with the dealing side, put ludicrous trades on just to see what happens, it's great fun.

Very true @TrendFollower, the 200 day MA is probably the gold standard indicator especially for stock traders but is important in most other markets as well. I saw a poll on favourite indicators for stock traders recently and the humble MA was the easy winner.

It tells direction, trend, momentum, force, speed and, as you say, can act as support and resistance because it is used by so many traders (and algos).

Just looked at that pic above again and compared it to the MA I'm currently playing about with.

This one has 40 odd different settings just for the 'Price to use' box alone. Hog's heaven. >>

@TrendFollower,  Been out looking for a 'Death Cross' or a 'Golden Cross', interestingly the Dow chart shows how narrowly a death cross was avoided just recently (using the 50 and 200 SMA).

Though we're not limited to just the sma, I look forward to seeing these 20 odd variations of the ma appearing on the IG platform soon. ?

Thanks both - can I just reiterate thanks to @Caseynotes and @TrendFollower, both of whom are very helpful in supplying assistance to other community members, market updates, and trade ideas :) For those unaware we will always try and be as transparent as possible, where all employees of IG have 'staff' or 'administrator' against their names (in red) and generally have 'IG' in their forum names. 

Thanks again fellas.

    • Many newcomers to cryptocurrency find the concept of staking challenging to understand. To help explain the process, there's an educational video guide available that demonstrates staking mechanics using $GRASS token as an example. The guide shows how this particular token currently offers staking yields between 20-25% APR." http:// https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMhpjg6L7/
    • As the bull run approaches, it's imperative to interact with exchanges that are secure and user-oriented. One way to assess this is by looking at their practice of constantly updating their Proof of Reserves (POR) and protection funds, which showcases transparency.   Bitget recently published its updated Proof of Reserves, reflecting a strong financial position with a total reserve ratio of 166%. This update underscores their commitment to transparency and user fund security, offering users reassurance about the platform's asset backing and liquidity.   The Proof of Reserves report provides an in-depth look at the exchange's holdings, detailing reserve ratios for major assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether (USDT). Each of these assets maintains a reserve ratio significantly above 100%, indicating that Bitget holds more than the total user balances in these assets, ensuring full backing and coverage.   By maintaining high reserve ratios, this demonstrates its proactive approach to safeguarding user assets and its dedication to best practices in asset transparency and security within the cryptocurrency industry. What do you think about this practice?
    • Bitcoin has been on a brilliant surge, reaching a new ATH of around $89,864. Although the price might have slumped slightly since then, it still has a thrilling 30% surge over the past seven days and 102% surge in 2024, while expectations are rife that its price could rise significantly higher before the end of 2024. Historically, whenever the world’s biggest cryptocurrency is on a tear as this, the market comes alive. While this has also applied in this current surge, memecoin enthusiasts will be keen to witness exponential pump orchestrated by the Bitcoin’s happy mood. For a good part of the year, memecoins have garnered the most attention particularly within Solana and Ton ecosystems, if memecoin market will witness a major rally, then these ecosystems will surely be on the forefront. With this likelihood, all eyes seems to be fixated on PNUT, a meme token on Solana Blockchain. The token pays homage to Late PNUT, a social media sensation squirrel rescued in 2017 by Mark Longo after its mother was killed by a car in New York City. Backed by Beeple, Elon Musk, Doge, Wif, and Justin Sun; PNUT successfully launched on Bitget where its volume is on the rise.  Bitcoin soars, could PNUT and other meme gaints respond accordingly?
