Excel moving average values

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by indahook, Feb 3, 2010.

  1. Does anybody know how/if I can get the actual plot value of MA`s in excel? On the chart would be good but cells would be better.

    I`ve googled high and low for this. ET is my last hope!

    good trading to you all. :D

  2. I can read it with no problems and not having to pay.... eg

    ------------------
    I am needing to build a chart with a dynamic rolling 30-day date range and would like for it to update automatically as new dates and series data are entered.

    I initially found a solution at Changing Chart Source Data Based On Running Date used here cannot take into account if there are fewer than 30-days to plot. Obviously, initially there is only one day to plot and it builds from there.

    Dynamic Named Range: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1, COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-30,0,30,1)

    Can the named ranged formula be devised to limit itself to the initial entry?

    Selecting date ranges for the chart via a control is one option I can use, but I prefer to automate the chart rather than have to select the date range daily.

    I am open to any other suggestions.



    ------------

    Just tell the xvalue to equal "=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$31". The chart will only plot out the rows if there is data there.

    ------


    Try this modified formula.
    Requires at least 1 point.

    = OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,IF( COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)>=30,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-30,0),0,MIN(COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A),30),1)

    Thanks Andy.

    Just tried it in a test worksheet; deleted all points but one and the range is correct.

  3. To be 100% honest I am about as far from a programmer as can be. So seeing those macros I have no idea how to apply them to my data to obtain the ending dymanic value I require.


    I am sure its there and you have been helpful. I`m just a dope.:)
     
  4. they are not macros they are excel functions.

    originally I thought you would have to use macros to do what you asked, but I found that site above which uses functions.

    you could google time series excel analysis, or realtime time series excel.... I am sure there are 3rd party products that make it easier to work with time series. I think matlab maybe has some.
     

  5. Okay. That would work also.

    Incidently, I asked a trader buddy the same question and he directed me back to that ozgrid site. He also said that for a nominal fee you can have a programmers bid on/write your functions.

    I see you`re in Miami. I may be moving to Boca to trade for a desk soon. I`ll offer to buy you a beer if it happens.

    I really appreciate the direction/help.

    Cheers.
     
  6. yes I'm located in miami, and yes I accept free beer. lol

    rentacoder.com is the site you want to pay somebody to write a quick excel macro for something like this.
     
  7. Excellent!
