Joe, you still haven't made it clear WHAT value you want to use in a
signal but it's easy if you think about what a displaced average is
REALLY doing. Of course, if you do that, you may question the wisdom of
the whole idea. :-)
Let's say you are displacing 5 bars into the future. What that really
means is you are plotting, on the current bar, the average from 5 bars
ago.
So, to use the value on the CURRENT bar, it's average(price,len)[5].
The value 5 bars in the future is average(price,len)[0] or just
average(price,len).
As to why anyone would want to add more lag to an indicator that already
has too much lag, it beats the hell out of me. :-)
