This would translate to the following in the formula language.
Ref(Mov(C,15,E),+3)
Take a close look at your charts and you'll see that the moving average doesn't plot for the last
three bars. This is because the moving average is using data for three bars into the future. Do not
create a system test based on the code above. You may get nice signals based on historical data, but
they're impossible to trade. This is a dead end street - it doesn't lead to riches.
Kind regards
