What to do when moving averages show a difference in value when plotted on a dual chart?

When you are using a dual chart having the same security, same time frame, and same moving average, very rarely, you could face an issue wherein the moving averages are showing a bit of a difference in values. For instance, look at the chart below:


Both the left and right panels show Bank Nifty on the 5-minute time frame and using the same moving average – 200 Days EMA. However, if you closely observe, you will notice that the 200 Days EMA on the left chart is showing a value of 36602.20, while that on the right is showing a value of 36600.55.

In case you face such issues, all that you need to do is:

    ∙ Right-click on the chart and select “Reset chart”.

    ∙ Zoom Out (mouse scroll from up to down) the chart as much as possible.

    ∙ Repeat the above two steps for the chart on the other panel as well.

This should solve the issue, as shown in the screenshot below:


See that the values of both the averages are now in sync.

Note: You can also use 200 Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly EMA.
