[amibroker] A Dumb Basic Question on Array Shifting

I know this is AFL 101 but I'm a bit confused on it.

Let's say I wanted to Buy today if the Close of three days ago was higher than its "center line" moving average. I know I have to shift the Close array, but do I also have to shift the MA array to make this comparison? My thought is yes.

So of the two formulas below, Formula B should be the correct one. Or is it? Does AFL automatically shift built-in function arrays when making comparisons? In that case, Formula A would be correct.


Formula A

CenterLine  = MA(C, 5);

Close3      =
Ref(Close, -3);

Buy         = Close3 > CenterLine


Formula B

CenterLine  =
MA(C, 5);

CenterLine3 =
Ref(CenterLine, -3);

Close3      =
Ref(Close, -3);

Buy         = Close3 > CenterLine3
