offsetSeries()

offsetSeries()

offsetSeries( series, offset )

New in EFS2. This function is used to offset into the past (negative offset) or into the future (positive offset). It is used primarily in conjunction with the built-in study functions. Note that the offset will be applied in the context of the bar interval used in the chart rather than the bar interval being used in the study being offset.

Parameters

Usage

var myStudy1 = null;

var myStudy2 = null;

var bInit = false;

function main() {

var myVar1;

var myVar2;

       if ( bInit == false ) {

               //shift the ema 10 bars into the past

               myStudy1 = offsetSeries( ema( 20 ), -10 );

               //shift the sma 10 bars into the future

               myStudy2 = offsetSeries( sma( 10 ), 10 );

               bInit = true;

       }

       //retrieve the current values

       myVar1 = myStudy1.getValue(0);

       myVar2 = myStudy2.getValue(0);

       return new Array( myVar1, myVar2 );
