Hay, can u please help me, how to use negative shifts in EMA....
iam getting output as 0 when i used -ve shifts in EMA and also in Bollinger Bands.
here is the code...
EMA_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,-2);
I am no expert in Technical Indicators but how do you expect to get a Moving Average partly based on bars that have not yet happened . . bars -1 and -2 ?
Perhaps you mean something like this . . . ?
EMA_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,-2,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,2);

EMA_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,2,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,-2);This is moving EMA into the "future" with two periods so there is in futurebar -2 a value

Thanks for information....
but we can use -ve and +ve shifts, when we are adding Moving average indicator to mt4 chart.....
why not in EA......
please look at this image.......

That offsets the whole MA 2 bars to the left, use int ma_shift to do that.

If it fails then Tell us how do you code the the Moving average indicator into your EA.
what is your value for ma_shift and what bar do you calculate in your EA ??
If you read also the comments RaptorUK shifting of the line is with ma_shift
That picture is the line with ma_shift -2 that gets the normal line to the past and you will have no value for bar zero
With a positive ma_shift the line will be moved to the right

i have given
EMA_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); ----> 0 shift
EMA_1_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,-1,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); ----> -1 shift
EMA_2_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,-2,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); ----> -2 shift
EMA_3_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,-3,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); ----> -3 shift
EMA1_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,1,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); ----> 1 shift
EMA2_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,2,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); ----> 2 shift
EMA3_20=iMA(NULL,0,20,3,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); ----> 3 shift

i have given

Thank you
That is a good thing with -ve you are shifting the line deeper in the past
Means the value without shifting of bar 0 is with shift -ve (== -3) now to find 3 bars before bar 0
Bar 0 " .........EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); " You are asking the value from bar 0. It has this way no value ( Also in your Picture ) so it is correct
Do you understand how the numbering of bars is defined and do you understand how to get the value of bar 9 with ma_shift -3 ??
