Sure we are! As you said, and I agreed, you cannot calculate 5 bars into the
future.
This is a calculation some have used for what they called "displaced" moving
average *Average(C[5],13)*, and I provided an exit....Clearly we are
*displacing* the MA in opposite directions. That is the way I heard the
question. Perhaps we should ask Joe what he meant by displaced moving
average. Joe?
BTW I don't displace 'em one way or the other....it's just less clean looking
and hasn't tested out as well for me.
