Multi timeframe Moving Averages

  Hi.

  I have got a formula that will plot different length moving averages depending on the timeframe selected. Is there a way to stop the moving average being plotted when its zero? I don’t want the vertical line at the start of the moving average.

  Thanks,

  Alan

  Thanks Vonasi.

  Works just how I wanted it to. Just out of interest is there an easier way of determining the timeframe?

   

  Thanks,
