It is in the documentation! Just drag the "Moving Average" onto the "RSI" sub-window and set "Apply to:" to either "First indicator's data" or "Previous indicator's data".

EDIT: The forum system even suggested an answer to your post automatically by suggesting the thread entitled: "Moving Average of RSI" as well as other possible answer threads. You should read your own thread next time

How to Choose Data to Draw an Indicator

Indicators can be plotted based on price data and derivatives thereof (Median Price, Typical Price, Weighted Close), as well as on the basis of other indicators. For example, you can apply Moving Average to Awesome Oscillator and have an additional AO signal line. First you need to draw the AO indicator, and then apply MA to it. In the MA settings select option "Previous Indicator's Data" in the "Apply to" field. If you choose "First Indicator's Data", MA will be applied to the very first added indicator, i.e. it can be any other indicator.

When I first started with MQL5, I wanted to do something similar.

In MQL4 I would use iMAOnArray(), but the function does not exist in MQL5.

So I needed to do a little research. It wasn't too hard to find out what I wanted and it is right there in the documentation for iMA.

iMA

applied_price

[in]  The price used. Can be any of the price constants ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE or a handle of another indicator.

Coupled with the many many examples in the forum, I can't imagine why you have found it so difficult.

Thanks a lot. For that I know, I was referring to in the MQL5 programming language for building Expert Advisors.

Hello Sir, 

Pls do you have an example of how to use SmoothedMAOnBuffer()?
If yes, can that function be used for the same purpose??(Placing a Smoothed Moving Average over another window aside the main chat?)

Thanks in advance.

I truly appreciate your willingness to help.

I did exactly that, inputting the handle of another indicator, but the MA is still displayed on the main chart instead of the window on which I want it to appear. 

Pls do you have an example, a code snippet or picture of how your chart or second window looked like after coding??

The MA will display in the chart window if that is how you have coded it.

Show your code.

Thanks to all of you. I really appreciate the willingness you had to help. I have figured it out.

I succeeded in putting the  MA and even a Bollinger Band in the Second Window on an MFI....but the values they read are way different. For example, the MFI and MA can be at the same level but give absolutely different values. Pls can someone kindly help me out>>???!!!
