adding / modifying Moving Averages

[Guest David-G]

I am a newcomer to IG.

Where can I find information on how one sets out (and edits) moving averages on IG Charts?

 

Thanks

To back up TF's post ... you can use the indicator button, or right click on the charts. 

 

Once selected you can then left click on the numbers to get the edit feature up.

Hi, click on the MA box to bring up the edit function, see pic

I just wanted to add to Jame IG's comment about left clicking 'on the numbers' he means the default values of the EMAs which are located at the bottom left of the screen.

Hi. Is it possible to shift (offset) the moving average on IG charts? I know this question was answered above, but I couldn't find the resource on the Exponential Moving Average pop-up. I basically want to create two exponential moving averages of same value (e.g. 20), but one of them 'displaced' frontwards, so that I can operate based on them two crossing one another.

Hi, maybe a stupid question but EMA and MA work well is indicators because so many people and trading systems use them, however, I notice that the 247 index MAs are generally off the mark relative to the real market data MA's thus rendering them semi useless. This seems to be the case of almost all the major equity indices bar maybe SPX/ES and DJI/YM.
