Getting the Moving Average value from other timeframe

Yes
If I specify in the shift 1, and the time frame 15 minutes, then it will retrieve the value of the MA when the last candle closed at the 15 minutes?

Hello,
I'm running a EA on a 4 hours chart, for example, but want to get the value of a moving average on daily timeframe but in the time that the daily candle closed.
The same applies for a 5 minutes chart, for example. If I'm running the EA on a 5 Minutes chart and want to get the moving average value from the 15 minute chart but at the time that the last 15 minute closed...
Maybe I just can play with the shift parameter?
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
);
If I specify in the shift 1, and the time frame 15 minutes, then it will retrieve the value of the MA when the last candle closed at the 15 minutes?
