Forward referencing using "Ref(DataArray,+x)" simply means that the
signal will be plotted x periods into the future, which in reality
means that the signal will appear x periods *sooner* on the chart,
thus giving the appearance to the unaware that the signals have
actually shifted backwards on the chart.
A signal shifted backwards on a chart is a signal shifted forwards
into the future.
ALM, whilst you're caught up in this simple apparent paradox, you've
missed the point of my forward-referencing solution.
