<P><FONT face="Century Schoolbook" size=2><FONT size=2>You lost me, the shift to
the right simply placed the curve forward. the measurement has been made in the
formula. You are putting the moving average value of the shifted amount over the
present day's price. Plotting the average with a lead time means more time is
required to penetrate the average with fewer false starts. you slow it down.
Some use a % penetratation to do it. A great short term MA is a 5 day ma with a
3 day lead. You can get there many ways. </FONT></FONT>

<HTML><BODY><FONT size=2>Stan, the look-forward nature of the shift means this
type of system can<BR>
backtest amazingly well. The problem is you'll never know if you get a<BR>
"current" buy or sell until the days of the shift have passed.<BR>
<BR>
However, suppose you use a one day forward shift to the MA. By using<BR>
hypothetical outcomes for the next trading day, you could make a<BR>
decision about whether to make a trade based on intraday activity.<BR>
<BR>
Has anyone used such look-forward possibilities, anticipating a<BR>
Metastock EOD trade signal, should the close hit an expected target?<BR>

That's relatively easy to fix.
- Open the downloader: "Downloader"
- Open the security containing the faulty data: "File", "Open"
- Double click security containing the faulty data
- Locate the day for which the data is bad: scroll to the date in the
far left hand column
- Click on the cell containing the faulty data and type in the
correction.
- Click your way out of Downloader again. You will, I believe, have to
close and then re-open the chart in question for your changes to be
reflected.
Let me know if it doesn't work.
