Kentler Swing using displacement field in strategy

richa61416 · 07-04-2007, 08:47 AM

This should be easy I hope. I am using the Kentler channel in my strategy, but I don't see the displacement field that the indicator normally have.

How can I use the displacement field in my strategy.

The easiest way is to reference the correct number of bars ago.

For example, if you had a displacement of 1. Then the current bar value really would be 1 bar ago.

You could then access the value like Indicator[1] etc...

Okay. I guess I understand that. This means that for my displacement of negative 2. I need to wait 2 bars from now, in order to get the desired result correct?

That is correct.
