Are 
you sure you aren't looking to plot the MA with the shift forward?  The 
method of shifting it forward (in which case, your original idea of 
ref(c,3,e),-3) is the correct formula) is used to "delay" the moving average a 
bit to prevent whipsaws.  Bill Williams talks about it in his books and Tom 
Joseph of Advanced GET also uses the concept.

Like 
David, I'm not sure what use plotting today's data three periods in the past 
will do?

  Ref(Mov(Close,3,e),<FONT 
  color=#ff0000>+3) plots a current 3 period ema point 3 
  periods in the past. What is the value of this?

    Thanks Lionel & David,
     
    Ok I've found! 
     
     
    A shifted -3 MA is
     
    Ref(Mov(Close,3,e),<FONT 
color=#ff0000>+3)
     
     
     
    Thanks

       ref(mov(close,3,e),-3) should 
      work.  What do you mean what is not a -3 shift? What do you 
      get?
       The Metastock moving average 
      window allows shifting a MOV up, down, left, right.

      Try  Mov(C,3,E) - Ref(Mov(C,3,E),-3)

        Hi!
         
        Does anyone know the syntax for a shifted moving average?
         
        For example a mov(close,3,e) shifted -3?
        I've tried:  ref(mov(close,3,e),-3) but it's not a -3 shifted 
        moving average.
         
        Thanks a lot.
