Displaced moving average
A displaced moving average is a
moving average which has been shifted by a number of
intervals. To lag the standard moving average the number of
intervals needs to be negative. To lead the standard moving
average the numbers of intervals needs to be positive.
Some traders prefer displaced moving averages, claiming they
have more predictive power. The aim of displacing a moving
average is to make the moving average fit better with the
price movement.
