displaced moving average formula

["Tom Sprunger" <tlsprunger@xxxxxxxx>]

Need help from one of you wizards out there.  I am trying to write a formula
for use in backtesting.  I want to look at price crossing a moving average
displaced forward by x bars.  Let's assume I want a 7 bar average displaced
forward by 5 bars.  Its no problem doing this on the charts because the Mov
Ave has a box in its properties window where you do this. However, I can't
figure out how to do this in Formula language for use in backtesting and
explorations.  From my manual, I can't find a descriptor for displacing the
Mov ave.

The code for flagging the price crossing above the 7 bar average is

cross(mov(c,7,e))

How do I modify this to displace the Mov Ave forward by 5 bars?

Thanks

Tom
