    | Description | 
    
The displaced moving average is a simple moving average shifted forward or backward in time by a specified number of days. The two parameters to the DMA include the length of the MA along with the number of days this average should be shifted. A positive displacement number indicates that the moving average values are projected forward, while a negative displacement indicates the values are moved backwards in time. Please note that the last portion of a negative displacement will be generated using moving averages based on the length of time available.
