  Hi Members, I am looking for Bollinger Bands with the shift (offset) feature. Any help will be much appreciated.

  What do you want to be shifted?

  Hi

  What I do need is the bollinger bands as follows Standard in brackets:

  Periods: (20)

  Shift/Offset days: ()

  Standard Deviation: (2.0)

  Then it offers me a chance to set it up as I wish with various day, sd and shift parameters.

  Thanks

  There you go:

  BB - Bollinger Bands custom (standard)

  //BBVal= 20 //20 periods BB //BBdev= 2.0 //2.0 deviation BB BBval = max(2,min(999,BBval)) //2 - 999 BBdev = max(1.0,min(99.9,BBdev)) //1.0 - 99.9 BBavg = average[BBval,1](close) //BB mean (middle line) - 1=ema BollUp = BBavg + ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev) //BB Upper Band BollDn = BBavg - ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev) //BB Lower Band RETURN BBavg AS "Mean",BollUp AS "Top",BollDn AS "Bottom"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  //BBVal= 20                                                //20   periods BB //BBdev= 2.0                                               //2.0  deviation BB BBval  = max(2,min(999,BBval))                             //2 - 999 BBdev  = max(1.0,min(99.9,BBdev))                          //1.0 - 99.9 BBavg  = average[BBval,1](close)                           //BB mean (middle line)  -  1=ema BollUp = BBavg + ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev)             //BB Upper Band BollDn = BBavg - ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev)             //BB Lower Band RETURN BBavg AS "Mean",BollUp AS "Top",BollDn AS "Bottom"

  BB - Bollinger Bands shifted

  //BBVal = 20 //20 periods BB //BBdev = 2.0 //2.0 deviation BB //ShiftNum= 0 //0 numbers of shifted periods BBval = max(2,min(999,BBval)) //2 - 999 BBdev = max(1.0,min(99.9,BBdev)) //1.0 - 99.9 ShiftNum = max(0,min(99,ShiftNum)) //0 - 99 BBavg = average[BBval,1](close[ShiftNum]) //BB mean (middle line) - 1=ema BollUp = BBavg + ((std[BBval](close[ShiftNum])) * BBdev) //BB Upper Band BollDn = BBavg - ((std[BBval](close[ShiftNum])) * BBdev) //BB Lower Band RETURN BBavg AS "Mean",BollUp AS "Top",BollDn AS "Bottom"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  //BBVal   = 20                                               //20   periods BB //BBdev   = 2.0                                              //2.0  deviation BB //ShiftNum= 0                                                //0    numbers of shifted periods BBval     = max(2,min(999,BBval))                            //2 - 999 BBdev     = max(1.0,min(99.9,BBdev))                         //1.0 - 99.9 ShiftNum  = max(0,min(99,ShiftNum))                          //0 - 99 BBavg     = average[BBval,1](close[ShiftNum])               //BB mean (middle line)  -  1=ema BollUp    = BBavg + ((std[BBval](close[ShiftNum])) * BBdev) //BB Upper Band BollDn    = BBavg - ((std[BBval](close[ShiftNum])) * BBdev) //BB Lower Band RETURN BBavg AS "Mean",BollUp AS "Top",BollDn AS "Bottom"

  you cam import attached ITF file(s).

  I hope that’s what you wanted (0=no shifting, 1=shift 1 period, ……).

  Hi Robertogozzi,

  Thank you very much for your assistance. Perhaps I did not explain myself well. What I mean by shift is to be able to move the bands forward (+ number) or backward (- number).  for example here is an example on MT4.

  The indicator you have provided is not doing that as shown.

  Thanks again.

  Oh, may be it is working well as required. Sorry, because I didn’t see the extension ahead of price,I thought it was not. But seems you have coded it not to show. Is that correct?

  I have now checked it with my MT4 comparison, it is working very well. Thank you so much. I am new to this platform.

  @Jozo

  Sorry for not replying to you. I missed it. Indeed only PRT can plot into the future (like Ichimoku), not us users!

  Actually v11.x allows to plot objects into the future, but not returned data.

  Thanks for the code. It shifts the indicator forward.

  How can we shift an indicator backwards (to the left) ?

  There you go:

  BB - Bollinger Bands Shifted LEFT

  //BBVal = 20 //20 periodi BB //BBdev = 2.0 //2.0 deviazione BB //ShiftNum= 0 //0 numbers of shifted periods o the LEFT BBval = max(2,min(999,BBval)) //2 - 999 BBdev = max(1.0,min(99.9,BBdev)) //1.0 - 99.9 ShiftNum = max(0,min(99,ShiftNum)) //0 - 99 IF BarIndex > (BBval + ShiftNum) THEN BBavg = average[BBval,1](close) //BB mean (middle line) - 1=ema BollUp = BBavg + ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev) //BB Upper Band BollDn = BBavg - ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev) //BB Lower Band BarNum = BarIndex - ShiftNum DRAWSEGMENT(BarNum[1],BBavg[1] ,BarNum,BBavg) coloured(255,0,0,255) DRAWSEGMENT(BarNum[1],BollUp[1],BarNum,BollUp) coloured(0,0,255,255) DRAWSEGMENT(BarNum[1],BollDn[1],BarNum,BollDn) coloured(0,0,255,255) ENDIF RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

  //BBVal   = 20                                               //20   periodi BB //BBdev   = 2.0                                              //2.0  deviazione BB //ShiftNum= 0                                                //0    numbers of shifted periods o the LEFT BBval     = max(2,min(999,BBval))                            //2 - 999 BBdev     = max(1.0,min(99.9,BBdev))                         //1.0 - 99.9 ShiftNum  = max(0,min(99,ShiftNum))                          //0 - 99 IF BarIndex > (BBval + ShiftNum) THEN    BBavg     = average[BBval,1](close)                          //BB mean (middle line)  -  1=ema    BollUp    = BBavg + ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev)            //BB Upper Band    BollDn    = BBavg - ((std[BBval](close)) * BBdev)            //BB Lower Band    BarNum    = BarIndex - ShiftNum    DRAWSEGMENT(BarNum[1],BBavg[1] ,BarNum,BBavg)  coloured(255,0,0,255)    DRAWSEGMENT(BarNum[1],BollUp[1],BarNum,BollUp) coloured(0,0,255,255)    DRAWSEGMENT(BarNum[1],BollDn[1],BarNum,BollDn) coloured(0,0,255,255) ENDIF RETURN

  since no data are RETURNed (it plots lines with a graphical instruction), the cursor cannot show any info about these bands.

  In my screenshot the upper chart is shifted leftwards by 3 bars.
