In TS 4.0 and 2000i, you can draw trendlines directly from custom functions.
So if you don't mind plotting your MA as a row of trendlines (not very
convenient, I know), you can write a function for your MA that also plots
the MA. Then you can call the function from the signal, plotting the MA in
the process, and will not need to plot the indicator separately as an
"indicator". For example:
Function MA
Inputs: Price(Numericseries), Length(Numeric);
MA=Average(Price, Length);
y=TL_New(Date, 0, MA, Date[1], 0, MA[1]);
Hope this helps,
