[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: centered ma

Just OTC (off-the-cuff) stuff.  A Metastock moving average gives the
average of say the previous 200 days.  To center this, you have to
move it back 100 days, something you can do with the 'horizontal
shift' operator in the properties box (right click on the MA).  In
MSFL, you can use the 'Ref(MA,-100)' or similar function.

One normally does not center moving averages in technical analysis as
you introduce lag that way.
