Plotting Daily EMA on Intra day charts

I added a aggregationPeriod input to the EMA coding so i can view the location of the daily EMA on intra day charts. It accepted the coding and gave me the option to
change the aggregationPeriod using the gear icon but it didnt change on the chart. Any suggestions?


input AggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;

input price = close;
input length = 9;
input displace = 0;
input showBreakoutSignals = no;

plot AvgExp = ExpAverage(price[-displace], length);

This will let you see how to use aggregationperiod when you use an input for price.

Code:
[CODE]input AggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input price = fundamentalType.CLOSE;
input length = 9;
input displace = 0;
input showBreakoutSignals = no;
plot AvgExp =...

plot AvgExp = ExpAverage(fundamental(price, period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);

Otherwise if you do not need an input option for price you can use close(period=aggregationperiod)

Code:
[CODE]input AggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.DAY;
input length = 9;
input displace = 0;
input showBreakoutSignals = no;
plot AvgExp = ExpAverage(close(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], length);

Hi SleepyZ,
I am trying to add timeframe to one of my existing study . Its giving me error . not sure what i am missing. can you pls help

# Working fine
input price = close;
input ema5=5;
input displace = 0;
def ema5p = ExpAverage(price[-displace], ema5);

When i adding timeframe , not compiling
input price = close;
input ema5=5;
input displace = 0;
def ema5p = ExpAverage(price[-displace], ema5);
input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.TEN_MIN;
def ema5pCopy = ExpAverage(fundamental(price, period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], ema5);
def ema5Pnew =ExpAverage(price(period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], ema5);

Appreciate any help

When adding an agg to an input price, use the fundamental function as follows:

Code:
input price = FundamentalType.CLOSE;
input ema5 = 5;
input displace = 0;
def ema5p = ExpAverage(Fundamental(price)[-displace], ema5);
input aggregationPeriod = AggregationPeriod.TEN_MIN;
def ema5pCopy = ExpAverage(Fundamental(price, period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], ema5);
def ema5Pnew  = ExpAverage(Fundamental(price, period = aggregationPeriod)[-displace], ema5);

Awesome SleepyZ. I can able t plot them properly with new code you provided. THANK YOU .

I am thinking what is the real use of Aggregation period when we dont have any multi Timeframe logic on our study ?

I believe While plotting study on chart Chart time frame can be used for EMA calculation . While order entry the timeframe we are choosing on order entry will be used for EMA calculation .
Whether the Extended period should be used for EMA calculation is also driven from the selections from chart / order entry.

The only use i can think of having aggregation is if our buy signal on 10 Min ema , if we want to add 1 hour based condition , we need to use aggregation period for 1 hour where 10 min is already derived from where we are using this(PLot/order)

Am i thinking correct?
