daily moving averages on 1m chart from QQQ

[onwee]

Hello,

My goal is to draw the daily moving averages on my 1m chart from QQQ, even though I only trade SPY. I already do this with SPY daily moving averages and impose them over my 1m candles. Big fan of automatically drawing support/resistance lines as much as possible.

I can draw the SPY daily moving averages on my charts with the following:

plot SMA5 = SimpleMovingAvg(close (period = AggregationPeriod.Day), 5);
plot SMA10 = SimpleMovingAvg(close (period = AggregationPeriod.Day), 10);
plot SMA21= SimpleMovingAvg(close (period = AggregationPeriod.Day), 21);
plot SMA50= SimpleMovingAvg(close (period = AggregationPeriod.Day), 50);
plot SMA100= SimpleMovingAvg(close (period = AggregationPeriod.Day), 100);
plot SMA200 = SimpleMovingAvg(close (period = AggregationPeriod.Day), 200);
plot SMA250 = SimpleMovingAvg(close (period = AggregationPeriod.Day), 250);

SMA5.SetDefaultColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
SMA10.SetDefaultColor(Color.VIOLET);
SMA21.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
SMA50.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
SMA100.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
SMA200.SetDefaultColor(Color.DARK_ORANGE);
SMA250.SetDefaultColor(Color.DARK_RED);

I want to do this exact same thing, but specify it's for QQQ and these functions don't seem to accept a ticker as input.

Any ideas appreciated.

price functions accept symbol data.
average functions accept price data.
so they they do accept symbol data.

but if you plot lines from a different symbol, the lines will be far away from the chart symbol price bars, causing the everything to compressed vertically, resulting in what will appear as horizontal lines, far away from the price bars.

here is an example on how to change your formulas

input stock = "QQQ";
input agg = AggregationPeriod.Day;
plot SMA5 = SimpleMovingAvg(close(symbol = stock, period = agg), 5);
