RE: [Metastockusers] Shifted moving average

[Neal Hughes <traderm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I plot into the future, 3 periods. Works great. This is a good trend
indicator short-term (3X3).
Use 7X5 for longer term.

Walter,
 
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?
 
Good Trading,
 
Joe J.

Ref(Mov(Close,3,e),+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),+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.
