Re: Forward Shift Indicator Five Days??

Here is another tool that you might find helpful for use with Joe's
suggested use of the Ref() function.
Suppose the indicator you want to shift is Mov(C,10,S) the following
indicator can be set up to display a short line at the right side of the
chart so that you know what the last value of the shifted signal would be if
you could see it (last value of signal).

  {Last Bar View}
Signal:=Mov(C,10,S);
Periods:=5; {periods to display}
LastBar:=LastValue(Cum(1)-(Periods-1))=Cum(1);
Line:=ValueWhen(1,LastBar,LastValue(Signal));
Ref(Signal,-5); {shifted signal}
Line; {last value of shifted signal}
