RE: Zero Lag EMA

Del,
  The Horizontal shift is built in -- see the gif.
  To fix yours, wrap the MA in a Ref; e.g., for a simple MA of the close use
---
Period:= Input("What Period",1,250,13);
Disp:= Input("Forward Displacement",0,250,8);
Ref(Mov(C, Period, S),-Disp)

Bob, your message below was apropos. I am trying to create a simple 13
period moving average with a forward displacement of 8 periods. Borrowing
from your code, I created the following formula:

Period:= Input("What Period",1,250,13);
Disp:= Input("Forward Displacement",0,250,8);
Mov(MP(), Period, S

..but it doesn't displace. It simply gives me the standard MA. Can you
pinpoint the error(s)?

Much appreciated.
