Moving Average_ Shift Bugs
Hi,
This is Eldon.I am currently working on EA using Moving Average cross over to execute trade.
My program works. However, whenever i tried altering MA_SHIFT to negative number such as -1 instead of default 0, it does not work at all. Even for Strategy Back Tester..
May I know what are the possible solutions to this problem?
Merry Christmas..Thanks..
Best regards
Hi SilverSilver,
For "Shift" - it's kind of contrary logic...
POSITIVE numbers are Past Bars (1 = previous bar, 2 = 2 bars past, etc)
NEGATIVE numbers are Future Bars - they don't exist... We all wish they did....lol!
Hope this helps,
Robert

Hi Eldon,
As I stated above.... Because the Future does not exist yet...??
We all have super indicators that we wish it could tell the next (future) bar...lol!
I hope this helps. Good luck with your efforts.
