[amibroker] Re: avg. RSI's indicator

Hello,

I think, I know what you are doing wrong but, I don't understand this 
behaviour in AmiBroker. Perhaps Howard can comment on this post. I 
was reading about filters in Howard's book and I was wondering what 
is the difference between calculating a value of weekly indicator 
using daily data or doing it with TimeFrameSet controls?
Clearly, one can calculate m, w and d average of RSI by just using 
parameters w = d * 5 and m = w * 4

(RSI(50) + RSI(10) +RSI(2))/3

In the script below your original avg does not change with the scroll 
function when TImeFrameExpand is added to calculate the average.

However, can someone explain why average calculated from daily data 
(green plot line) is different to the average calculated using 
TimeFrameSet (red plot line)?

TimeFrameSet(inMonthly);//switch to monthly time frame
m_rsi=RSI(2);//monthly rsi(2)
TimeFrameRestore(); // restore time frame to original(daily)

TimeFrameSet(inWeekly);//switch to weekly time frame
w_rsi=RSI(2);//weekly rsi(2)
TimeFrameRestore(); // restore time frame to original(daily)

MonthlyRSI = TimeFrameExpand( m_rsi, inMonthly ); 
WeeklyRSI = TimeFrameExpand( w_rsi, inWeekly ); 

AvgRSI = (MonthlyRSI + WeeklyRSI + RSI(2))/3 ; //monthly, weekly and 
daily avg with TimeFrameSet control

Plot((m_rsi + w_rsi +RSI(2))/3,"avg. m-w-d rsi",colorWhite);
Plot(AvgRSI, "ExpRSIavg", colorRed);
Plot((RSI(50) + RSI(10) +RSI(2))/3, "RSIavg", colorGreen); //monthly, 
weekly and daily avg with daily

Regards
Richard
