Got a simple one for someone. 
How do you get a show me or paint bar study to indicate x bars ago(and to paint it or show it). I  watch a certain moving average and when it changes direction it's important, so what I want to do is locate the bar x ago because if the close of the current bar is above or below the bar x ago then the m/a changes direction.
The nearest I can get to it is by using a moving average displaced by the amount I want to look at.
I can also do it manually by moving a rectangle along each bar but that's a 'drag' (sorry!)
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks from sunny England
