Quick question on iBands - Bollinger Bands indicator

[Luciole]

Good morning everyone,

Is someone can help me understand the difference between :

bands_shift

[in]  The indicator shift relative to the chart.

shift

[in]  Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago).

Thanks a lot for your time !

Shift is for which bar you want the value.

Bands_shift (BB) and ma_shift (iMA) moves the line to the right (positive values) or left (negative.) Put two identical MAs on your chart with one right shifted five.
