Displacement in a strategy

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Yes, you could use this overload from DataSeries class.

DataSeries.Set(int barsAgo, double value)
You can also set the value for historical bars by including a "barsAgo" value that represents the number of bars ago that you want the double value to be stored at.

This could be an advantage if both crossing values needed to be based on bars ago values. Since it looks like only one of yours is, this wouldn't offer an advantage over just applying indexing to SMA to make it a double.

Would it be possible to create a new indicator that would account for the displacement? And then have the "5 SMA" cross the newly created "5 SMA displaced"?

Just throwing out ideas. I appreciate the help.

This should work.

private int Displacement = 5; //or whatever you want it to be. Make it a parameter?

...
if (CrossAbove(SMA(Weighted, 5), SMA(Weighted, 5)[B][COLOR=Red][Displacement][/COLOR][/B], 1))
            {
                EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
            }
...

and so on.
