From the help:
double iMA( string symbol, // symbol int timeframe, // timeframe int ma_period, // MA averaging period int ma_shift, // MA shift int ma_method, // averaging method int applied_price, // applied price int shift // shift );
Parameter "shift" is the candle index. Current candle has index 0, previous candle has index 1, and so on back in time.
Your code, as is, actually returns moving average value for the candle previous to the current candle.
If you get unexpected result, then you should check values for the variables "ma_fast_period", "ma_fast_method" and "ma_fast_price".

the last parameter - change it from 1 to 2 3 4 ... and you get past values
I am sorry for this question. I am new. Can anybody explain me how to change the followig to get result for the previous candle (moving avarage)?
double MA6_2=iMA(Symbol(),0,ma_fast_period,0,ma_fast_method,ma_fast_price,1);
