Sunny England?  Must be somewhere other than regular England...

I have no idea what in the world you are talking about in terms of your indicator and what you are trying to mark or see.

However...  to get a price X bars ago use Price[X].  For example:

C[3] = Close 3 bars ago
L[3] = Low 3 bars ago

To plot paintbar X bars ago, use the following syntax:

Plot1[X](H,"Bar High");
Plot2[X](L, "Bar Low");


Showme's and indicators are done similarly.  X may be less than 0 in TS2Ki - causing the indicator to plot in the space to the right of a chart.

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.
