How do you program a shift to the left

  Hi,

  I’d like to shift my plot to the left like you can do with the built in moving averages by using a negative “Horizontal shift” value when you add the moving average.

  I can’t figure out how to do this in programming.

  Any ideas?

  Hi, if you mean future price, right click on main chart, choose “chart properties” and change default value of 3% to your desired (See image below)

  Thats good to know but its not what I’m trying to do.  I want the indicator that I program to be shifted to the left relative to the price. If you look at my example the moving average is shifted to the left by 20 bars.

  I get an error saying I must use a positive integer if I program the indicator like this:

  x = average[1](close)[-6]

  return x

   

  How do they program the built in moving average to allow a negative horizontal shift?

  Nice question, i don’t know…but did you try this?

  x = average[1](close) y = x[6]

  1 2	x = average[1](close) y = x[6]

  That code has the effect of shifting my indicator to the right.  I want to go to the left

  Tradestation allows you to plot back in time by using a plot1[-6] (x)  type statement.

  Is there a similar feature in prorealcode?

  Sorry but it is not possible to draw things in the future on chart by code.
