  thanks, and if i wanted a verticle shift down would it be

   

  ExponentialAverage[3](close[1]) – 0.034  ?

   

  also does return y needed to be coded underneith? if i was coding using ema3 as the name should it be this…

  ema3 = ExponentialAverage[3](close[1]) + 0.034

  return ema3

  True, plus (+) is a positive vertical shift and minus (-) is a negative vertical shift.

  You can use any name you want.

  thanks, is it necessary to put “return ema3” under the line?

  An indicator must be closed with RETURN

  Return EMA3 will show the values of the EMA3 in the graph.

  Thanks, I have done this:

  ema3 = ExponentialAverage[3](close[1]) + 0.034

  return ema3

   

  and the return is underlined red showing an error

  Do you use the above line in an automatic trading system?

  Example Trading System with EMA3

  EMA3Plus = ExponentialAverage[3](close[1]) + 0.034
  EMA3Min = ExponentialAverage[3](close[1]) – 0.034

  If Close Crosses Over EMA3Plus then
  Buy 1 contract at market
  ElsIf Close Crosses Under EMA3Min then
  SellShort 1 contract at market
  EndIf

  Graph EMA3Plus as “EMA3Plus”
  Graph EMA3Min as “EMA3Min”

  yes its is to detect conditions for one line bing over the other by a set distance.  I have the code i’m just looking to find the correct way to set up the verticle and horizontal shift. The return was new to me but showed up as an error when i tried to implement

  Have you already optimized your system?

  With RETURN you can only move the indicator to the left, i.e. the past value is plotted currently (not in the future, though), such as:

  Sma = Average[20,0](close) RETURN Sma[1]

  1 2	Sma = Average[20,0](close) RETURN Sma[1]

  you cam shift both ways using graphic instructions (DrawSegment) by:
  – repainting current data into the past
  – plotting cuurrent data into the future.

  In any case each indicator must be programmed to behave this way.
