Thank you.

The Bars on your chart have a number The latest bar still open is bar 0

The Bar before has number 1

To calculate the value of your shifted EMA there has to be a line with a value at that point

In your picture the line is shited with -2

for bar 0 and for bar 1 the line doesn't reach those points on chart so we get there no value for your shifted EMA

You are calculating the values for bar 0 There is no value if the line is shifted with a value < 0...

calculating bar 0 MA_shift -2

EMA_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,-2,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

calculating bar 1 MA_shift -2

EMA_20.1=iMA(NULL,0,20,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);

The last input is for the bar you are calculating

See picture with negative shift you move the line to the past and current bar has that way no value
