Value.Set(CurrentBar == 0 ? Input[0] : Input[0] * (2.0 / (1 + Period)) + (1 - (2.0 / (1 + Period))) * Value[1]);

Not sure I understand exactly what you want to achieve, but are you trying to code an indicator which actually peeks 5 bars ahead?

-> this then would be looking into the future, which likely would not be advisable for coding trading systems

Also:
- accessing NinjaScript values by negative "barsAgo" values (which you then probably would need), is not supported
- would the Displacement option help? http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...placement.html

No not looking for it to look in the future. what i want is to be able to move the EMA5 basised on the last 5 bars but print this value on bar -1. ie the EMA would be drawn one bar ahead of the current bar(or the acutal bar) if you dont understand what im looking for just open up a ninja trader chart and set the displacement to 1 and you wil see that the EMA actually leads the stock price.
