offset caused by function?

[franzmey]

If I use an SMA of an function-series, I get an offset. Is there another way as "offsetSeries(sma(14, series),-1);" in order to prevent this problem?

function preMain()
{
    setPriceStudy(false);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.black,0);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red,1);
}


 
function main()
{
    series = efsInternal("test");

    return new Array ( sma(10, sma(10)), sma(10, series) );
}


function test() {return sma(10);}

I am not sure as to what the problem you are describing is. I just ran your script and I don't see the plot being offset (see enclosed image).

Strangely!

With EOD ("D") it works ok, but with intraday (e.g. 5 minutes)...

Even using an intraday interval (I have tried several) it still does not plot any offset return
In the enclosed image I am also using the same symbol as in your chart

Hi Alex,

I found the problem.

At Formula Engine Settings I have checked "Make all formulas compute on close (rather than tick-by-tick)".

If I using setComputeOnClose() in preMain you should have the problem too!

As far as I know setComputeOnClose() [as well as the global compute on close option you mention] is not compatible with either efsInternal() or efsExternal()
