juzam,

I gave you this:

pds:=Input("Nth bar periodicity",1,252,5);
pdsma:=Input("Smoothing periods",1,100,21);
signal:=Mod(Cum(1),pds)=0;
Cl:=ValueWhen(1,signal,Ref(C,-1));
mov(Cl,pdsma,S){end}


It calculates every 5 days. If you want a longer period just set the 
Nth bar periodicity to a longer period. If you set it at 252 you 
will get approximately one year.
