Based on info in other topic forums, C > AVGC3.3 should work. AVGC3.3 is a 3 bar moving average 3 bars ago.

StockGuy,

That is not the case in my system. For my system, the ".3" in C3.3 is ignored and C3.3 returns C3, the closing price 3 days ago. The PCF:

AVGC3.3

returns the "3 bar moving average 3 bars ago".

Since mike195 says "works great", does this mean there is something wrong with my system?

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

bustermu,
I get the same results. It was probably just a typo (although that would not explain why it would work for mike195, maybe it was just the symbol he was viewing at the time).

C = Current Price
C3 = Close 3-Periods Ago
C3.3 = Close 3-Periods Ago (the .3 is ignored)
AVGC3 = Current 3-Period Simple Moving Average of the Close
XAVG3 = Current 3-Period Exponential Moving Average of the Close
AVGC3.3 = 3-Period Simple Moving Average of the Close 3-Periods Ago
XAVGC3.3 = 3-Period Exponential Moving Average of the Close 3-Periods Ago

Bruce,

That means your system and mine give different results for C3.3 than that of StockGuy and mike195.

Why would that be?

There was a typo in my original post which has been corrected. C3.3 should be AVGC3.3 (and now it is).
