Yes David!
It's exactly what I want! This way, I can "secure" the position by a
"secure" (confirmed and delayed) trend. On a 1 mn chart this delay of 3 periods
isn't a problem.

The point I was trying to make, obviously not very clearly,
is that there is no value in plotting a current ma point (either ma with
a -3 offset, or ref(ma,3), same thing) at X periods in the past because
you can't make current use of it until X periods in the future. All it will do
is mislead you by back testing with it.
In your code below, if the fast ma crossed above the slow ma
now, you would not see it until 3 periods from now.
