    Hi all - fist time poster in this part of boards.

    Just wondering if anyone knows of a site that lets the user set their own moving average on FTSE, DOW charts etc?

    I've been using Yahoo finance up until now but the MAs you can select are pre-determined.

    Thanks :)

    You can set the m.a. period(s) on Yahoo Finance:

    (1) Go to finance.yahoo.com

    (2) Put the symbol for the quote you are interested in the "Get Quotes" box on the top left.

    (3) When you get to the summary page for the quote, click on one of the time periods listed under the small chart on the centre right, e.g., 1y, 5y, max, etc.

    (4) When the full size chart displays, click on the "Technical Indicators" drop down menu, in the options menu along the top of the chart.

    (5) Choose "Simple Moving Average" and put in the period(s) you want.

    That's it!

    Thanks Gizmo - followed your instructions but can't find that options drop down menu. Will keep trying.

    I've always used www.futuresource.com for viewing the indices.
    Just go to the charts section and select a weekly or daily chart. I find it a lot more intuitive than Yahoo.
