I can't find the answer to simply ignorant questions...

New comment
 

I have a couple of questions that I cannot find the answer to:

1. In the iMA technical indicator can you only use 1 min, 5 min, 15, 30, 60, 240, etc or can you use 480 for 8 hours?

2. In the moving average indicator that you load on the chart; if you put in 15 does that mean 15 min or 15 times the timechart on the window? So on the one hour chart does 15 mean 15 min or 15 hours?

Thanks for your help if you are kind enough to answer without laughing to death!
