If you recall, I was all for DMA, until I noticed the indicator flipping.
If only trading with DMA was that ez, that would be sweet.

I hope this makes sense to all that may have misunderstood the inquiry that I am attempting to raise regarding the DMA.

Exhibit A:

https://prnt.sc/jiqdk1

In this screenshot, you see a plotted 24 period moving average displaced 14 bars, AKA the DMA(24,-14) via a tradingview chart.

Exhibit B:

https://prnt.sc/jiqiwz

In this screenshot, you can see stockfetcher's DMA(24,-14). Stockfetcher, I aspire we can resolve this DMA confusion if you can explain what is referenced in the screenshot, I hope this makes absolute sense.

Thank you for the details! In your example the final 14 bars on StockFetcher are calculated precisely as described in our prior response and email.

As with any negatively displaced moving average, the final "period" bars will not be the specified displaced average. Our solution chooses to fill the values as detailed; however, regardless of the solution the final "period" bars will either be invalid (i.e. blank) or calculated differently from the specified average. Of course if we had future data we could solve that! :-)

Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks!
Tom

@ Tom,

Would it be possible to add a custom DMA indicator?

The syntax for custom DMA would be:

CDMA(indicator, # of days). For example,

CDMA(lri(15), -5) and CDMA(lri(15), 5) would shift LRI(15) 5 days to the left and right, respectively.



If anyone else could think of a way mimicking CDMA using a custom filter, please share your thoughts.

cf.

1. https://stockcharts.com/articles/mailbag/2015/01/how-can-i-shift-moving-averages-forwards-and-backwards-wvideo.html

StockCharts.com allows shifting the moving averages both forward and backward. But a custom DMA would enable users to shift ANY INDICATORS forward as well as backward.

Shifting to the right, is probably possible using the method in the filter below, however shifting to the left is a much harder challenge.
