Bill Williams alligator indicator is 3 emas plotted forward by different periods. 1. ema5 displaced by 3 periods forward 2. ema8 displaced by 5 periods forward and 3. ema13 displaced by 8 periods forward. how do you displace an ema forward (or backward)? I want to code it just to see how visual it is for trends etc.   Dave

Hi dave1939, I have to admit that I don't know a lot about script, but the Ichimoku indicator includes two lines are offset forward. I notice in the script that they achieve this using: nssh := input("First/Second (Senkou) shift",26,1); standardline := (highest(H,ns) + lowest(L,ns))/2; turningline := (highest(H,nt) + lowest(L,nt))/2; span1 := (standardline + turningline)/2; span2 := (highest(H,nssp) + lowest(L,nssp))/2; [name=First span; color=green; hozshift="nssh";] span1; If you Insert the Ichimoku indicator, then view its Properties and look at the last tab "Formula", this might help?

Moving averages can be shifted in many ways. Shifting them forward or backward in time is a Horizontal shift (plus or minus values). This function can be found in the Moving Average properties "Advanced" tab.
