hello list,
It is probably something very basic, but I haven't been able to figure out
what "displacing moving average" is all about. Martin Pring's Book on TA
does not explain it in any detail. What is the logic and interpretation of
displacing a MA? A related question I guess would be, what do the
Vertical/Horizontal shift options on MS mean?
all responses appreciated,
vignesh
