there you can see all moving averages
the lsma is very similar to the epma

the formula can be found on that site;)
i'll try to write the proper indicator for mt3 and mt4 next week

this is what I have found so far:
Least Square Moving Average
LSMA = Endpoint of Regression Line including current bar and previous n - 1 bars
by the way is it possible to have a 3 minutes charts as opposed to a 1 or a 5 minutes?

thats the same formula i found;)

3minute charts
hmm - in general it's not possible...
but you can write an indicator which sums every 3 bars on a 1minute-chart and displays their open,high,low,close... - i suggest you paint vertical lines with that indicator ... in mql4 it's at least "possible"... but the use is not quite high...

but perhaps slawa will implement a field where one can define the timeperiod=)

got it done on my own...

a nice english manual for MQL4 might do the trick seeing that english is a international standard language and most users are english speaking....so honestly I do not see the logic behind not having one from the start
