Hi Don,

Here is a simple backtest to demonstrate what I think your after, and below is an indicator.

//Backtest code
x = Optimize("", 50, 30, 50, 5 ); 
y = Optimize("", 5, 2, 10, 1 );
z = MA(C,x)+y; //Displaced by "y"

Buy = Cross(C,z); //Buy when the close crosses up through the MA
Sell = Cross(z,C); //Sell when the close crosses below MA

Buy = ExRem(Buy,Sell); //Eliminate excessive signals
Sell = ExRem(Sell,Buy);


//Indicator Code
z = MA(C,50)+5; //Here is a 50 period SMA displaced by 5
Plot(z,"Displaced 50 Period SMA",1.2);


Regards,
William Peters

Does anyone know if AB is capable of ploting Displaced SMA's?  And/or 
if it's possible to optimize Displaced SMA's with backtests?
