 | Displaced Moving Average / DMA |  | 
 |  
    | Parameters | Period Displacement
 |  
    | Usage | DMA(25,5) DMA(50,-8)
 |  |  |  
    | Description | The displaced moving average is a simple moving average shifted forward or backward in time by a specified number of days. The two parameters to the DMA include the length of the MA along with the number of days this average should be shifted. A positive displacement number indicates that the moving average values are projected forward, while a negative displacement indicates the values are moved backwards in time. Please note that the last portion of a negative displacement will be generated using moving averages based on the length of time available.
