Hey. Recently I have had a tremendous amount of problem with applying EMAs with high values (150 for example) to charts with high TimeFrames (such
as the daily chart). When I apply them to charts with a lower timeframe (such as the 5 min) there is no problem. But as I up the time frame the ema
gets shorter and if i up the tf even more the ema totally disappears. This is very annoying as I would like to look back at some historical price
data. Anyone ever experinced the same problems or maybe have a solution? Would be grateful for an answer.

Most probably because you don't have enough history data to calculate it correctly. EMA is sensitive to starting conditions.

Yes. I can scroll way back in time and the candles are there. The ema just won't show itself on the chart. Thank you for replying. I appreciate that.
