I meant the shift, not ma_shift. Read it and I could not understand it before I posted here.
So what is period and shift?
period | - | Averaging period for calculation. |
if you see a chart some currency one period of that chart is one candelbar
shift | - | Index of the value taken from the indicator buffer (shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago). |
shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago
current bar is the last bar on chart
shift is periods ago
AND THIS can we call this Explaining mql4 for Dummies ???

I believe you are talking about ma_shift, and not shift. Unless shift and ma_shift is the same.
I read that whole book already. And more than that. But I think the language is not that clear .
But finally. I got it. shift is the index of the value that I want to get from the indicator buffer.
for simplicity and those looking for this
2 for shift mean = buffer [2]
Thanks

wrong believe
You are proofing us reading words is your problem.....
What did you think i was talking about " ma_shift " ???
the message you was replying to has nowhere inside that word
My conclusion explaining mql4 to you IS same as Explaining mql4 for Dummies
very hard to do ..... for no matter who
