PRELOADBARS maximal bars and limitations on backtest

  I hit problem when I implement the long ma like :

  DEFPARAM preloadbars = 23000// Cumulating positions deactivated

  MA20175 = Average[20175](close).

   

  Back test is just nice. What is the problem ?

  Maximum preLoad bars that can be set is 10000

  Default is 200

  Is there a way to compute MA20175 = Average[20175](close) ?

  I’m sure that this long term period of a SMA could be calculated another way by using a superior TIMEFRAME, thus reducing a lot its period of calculation!!

  Yeah, so Nicolas means, for example  …

   

  Timeframe(1 hour) MA20160 = Average[336](close) Timeframe (1 mn) If Close crosses over MA20160 Then .... etc

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  Timeframe(1 hour) MA20160 = Average[336](close)   Timeframe (1 mn) If Close crosses over MA20160 Then .... etc
