Kevin's post in a recent thread showing a workaround for ROC monthly lookbacks makes me wonder if anyone has a workaround to create a filter that enables monthly moving averages of various lengths?

Not yet. I have asked SF to give us monthly data capabilities several times (as have others) but so far no dice.

almost 1.5 years since this inquiry about SF creating the ability to follow/scan Monthly Moving Averages......along same lines, what about Weekly Moving Averages???? Anything out there?

Easy - weekly MA(X) will give you the weekly MA, but it will only plot correctly on a weekly chart (add the line "chart-display is weekly" to the bottom of your filter).
You cannot correctly display weekly indicators in daily charts, or vice-versa. A dumb limitation for which I have tried to figure out a work-around, but so far no luck.

To find monthly moving averages, just do the math, i.e., a 10 month moving average, a month contains 4 weeks.
10 x 4 = 40, so a 40 week MA = 10 month MA, which also = a 200 day MA.
A 50 month MA = a 200 week MA, which ALSO = a 1,000 day MA.
Unfortunately on SF it's not possible to do a 200 week ma, but you can at freestockcharts.com
By the way, watch what happens when a stock hits a 200 week MA or EMA !!

The below filter should provide the monthly ma(5)
However, upon adding " add column mma5" or "close below mma5" there is a syntax error..
It appears that although SF has a value for "date(monthend,close 8 weeks ago)" it cannot be used as a variable.
So you will have to specify the dates:
