Displacing the DataSeries

[sandman]

Out of interest (and if possible, I'd like to experiment with it) here is a question.

Let's say I run an SMA 20 in a 15Minute chart. It fixes this SMA at the full hour, :15, :30, :45. So far so good.

Is there a way to tweak the code to run this SMA 20 in a 15Minute chart but calculate it for example by 2Minutes off? Meaning for example at the full hour plus 2Minutes, :17, :32, :47. In other words have the 15minute cycle begin at a different time.

(Using a 17Minute data series would obviously not produce the same result.)

Hello sandman,

The bars on the chart themselves are being created as 15 minute bars that always end on the 15 of the hour.

Using a 1 minute series and re-coding the SMA to use this offset and gather 15 bars at a time would be the only way I can think of to accomplish this. This would require a lot of logic reworking in the SMA.
