paintbar not in synch with moving averages

ok the issue is your confusion about specifying the parameters. Note that you have the "Any" checkbox checked.  The 10 and 30 that you have on the paintbar rule is not defining 10 and 30 period SMA/EMA.  It is defining that the rule is referring to the indicator value 10 and 30 candles back. 

with the "Any" checkbox checked, the period and other parameters for the indicator are NOT specified in the paintbar. Instead, when you add the paintbar to the chart, the paitbar will look for the first EMA and SMA indicator it finds already on the chart and use whatever parameters those have.

If you want to explicitly specify the parameters within the Paintbar, then UN-Check the ANY checkbox and instead click on the PARAMS button (we really should make that button stand out more) and change the numeric spin box that specifies how many candles back to look at to zero
